Gifted gardener Henna embarks from her island home to search for the plant that might save her papas life in this vibrant story of love, grief, and growth.Twelve-year-old Henna loves living with her two papas and cultivating her beloved plants on the tiny island of Earths End-until Papa Niall grows seriously ill. Now Henna is determined to find a legendary, long-extinct plant with miraculous healing powers, even though the search means journeying all the way to St. Basils Conservatory, a botanical boarding school rumored to house seeds of every plant ever grown. At St. Basils, Henna is surrounded not only by incredible plants, but also, for the first time, other kids-including her new roommates: wisecracking, genderfluid P, who gleefully bends every rule they come up against, and wealthy, distant Lora, who is tired of servants doing everything for her, from folding her clothes to pushing her wheelchair. But Hennas search for the fabled healing seed means she doesnt have time for friends-or so she thinks. This tender tale, blossoming with moments of joy, is a story of hope, grief, and learning to flourish with a little help from those around you.
