This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Michelle Barry, author of MOONGARDEN.
\nAbout MOONGARDEN: Centuries ago, Earth\u2019s plants turned deadly, and humanity took to space to cultivate new homes. Myra Hodger is in her first year at an elite school on the Moon, and she\u2019s crumbling under the pressure. She doesn\u2019t fit in and, worse, the tattoos that signal her Number Whisperer magic aren\u2019t developing. In her heart, she knows she doesn\u2019t have a Creer, and soon everyone else will, too.
\nWandering the halls while cutting class, she discovers a secret lab hidden behind one of the unused classrooms and, beyond that, a secret garden overflowing with plants. Dangerous toxic plants.
\nAs she learns more about the garden, Myra begins to wonder if she does have a Creer after all\u2014one that died out when the Earth did. One that could help solve the food shortages the government doesn\u2019t want anyone to know about.
\nAbout Michelle Barry: Michelle Barry was born and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts, though she was later cajoled over the border into Connecticut by her future husband, where she has been happily residing for many years.
