Sinopsis: Eleven‐year‐old Yasmina and her dad lead a modest life in a small city apartment. Luckily, the food-loving Yasmina can whip up just about anything in the kitchen, with an assist from her edible herb books and her friends from the community garden. That is, until the day the garden disappears, bulldozed and replaced by a field of potatoes that are both experimental… and completely addictive! The only solution is for Yasmina to track down and eradicate the source of the problem. A fun and colorful tale for all ages.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The second and final installement of the story of this courageous and asertive young girl fighting against a big company to help her father, friends, and the city.
That of 'you can not eat only one' takes a new look in this story .
For this girl to advocate for community gardens, and for growing vegetables on the terraces of buildings comes to bring a very relevant issue. Not only about pesticides and food with non-natural aggregates, but also because of the scarcity of good food that we are facing, especially with the shrinkage of agricultural land.
Although this is a story that goes to a pseudoscientific extreme, the greed of the companies is something that every community faces every day. That she needs her neighbors and family to face the problems is also the message.
Also, how can we find the cure in the same nature and trusting in it.
