adventurous hopeful informative medium-paced

the author has a way with words and storytelling that is incredibly engaging! even when i was confused, i wanted to keep reading and learning. could've used more pictures and illustrations alongside some of the plant descriptions, but otherwise a very detailed and beautiful account of science.
