A neighborhood garden takes root

Power outages, rising gas prices, and more expensive food bring change into 12-year-old Luz’s daily life. Her response grows from a personal adjustment into a community project: she sets out to turn a neglected city lot into a garden where neighbors can grow fruit and vegetables. The plan also tests how much support she can gather, since her friends are doubtful it will work. Presented as a graphic novel, the story connects everyday disruptions with self-sufficiency, collaboration, and local environmental action.

Book overview

An award-winning eco-focused graphic novel series gets an update and a new look!

Change is in the air. Power outages are increasing, and gas prices are soaring. At first, 12-year-old Luz sulks, not thrilled by the prospect of having to walk to the mall instead of getting a drive. But Luz doesn't mope for long. Soon she begins to understand that she must change with the times. With food prices also rising, Luz decides to help create a more self-sustaining community by transforming a run-down city lot into a garden where she and her neighbors can grow their own fruits and vegetables. But when she solicits help from her friends, they doubt it will work. Can Luz pull off her plan and help make a small change in the world?
