Recommended for grades 6-10

It's spring and time to plant the garden, how about a quantum garden like the one Susan's
great-uncle, a quantum physicist, planted in their backyard years ago. Does this garden have the answer to cure Susan's terminally ill brother, Gary? Will it make things better or a lot worse? "Illness and quantum have so many similarities - they are both chaotic, both unpredictable and no one really understands them deeply enough". If you were a fan of "The secret Garden" you won't want to miss this gothic sci-fi thriller.
