(2) 4-6 Color by Alex Campbell and Hilary Sycamore. Jack foolishly trades the family car for a packet of seeds. He's thrilled when his younger sister (who doesn't speak) cares for the garden, but these seeds yield a sinister menagerie of sentient plant creatures. Graphic novelist Hatke employs a vibrant color palette dominated by verdant greens and with a panel layout that segues seamlessly between dialogue and action--all to terrific effect.
