About the Characters:


Green: Green is a 16 year old girl. She is very quiet and shy. She does no talk to anyone at school or even her own family. She doesn't think that she is special. She believes that she is just a regular girl with no special talent. The one talent that she did have was that she is a fantastic Gardener and that is why her name is Green. One day Green's family left her to go tot the city where she had always wanted to go because you didn't have to be perfect there. Green had to stay home and pick the weeds. The only thing that stayed with her was her sisters dog Onion. The reason that her family went to the city was to sell vegetables.


Aurora: Aurora is Green's younger sister. According to Green she is very special land is basically perfect. She is also very beautiful, graceful, and a very fast runner. She can also climb trees extremely quickly. Aurora is a little bit of a rule breaker. She never listens to anything her mom says, she never sits still and pays attenion, she stole apples from neighbors, and she would run through mud in a new dress. She is a very fearless girl.



The future is something no one can foretell.

I really enjoyed this sentance in the book. To me this means that you don't know what is coming in the future or later on in life. You can't plan on what is going to happen.
