The Botanist's Assistant
Learn some fun-to-know botany facts but don't expect a cleverly plotted adult mystery in this one by Peggy Townsend. Told through the point of view of a quirky love-struck scientist, one keeps wondering if you're in the hands of an unreliable narrator. It was all a bit too daffy for my taste but I'm thinking this romp might appeal to younger readers. There are some sweet, endearing moments between characters, and positive character development for an ending the reader should enjoy. And a cat!
