Fifteen-year-old Mattie Lee Watson dreams of men, not boys. So when James T. Cullowee, the Kudzu King, arrives in Cooper County, North Carolina, in 1941 to spread the gospel of kudzu—claiming that it will improve the soil, feed cattle at almost no cost, even cure headaches—Mattie is ready. Mr. Cullowee is determined to sell the entire county on the future of kudzu, and organizes a kudzu festival, complete with a beauty pageant. Mattie is determined to be crowned Kudzu Queen and capture the attentions of the Kudzu King.

Vivid characters and engrossing story
Revisado: 12-01-23
I grew up in the south but never knew how assertively the US government pushed the introduction of kudzu. Mimi Herman has created an intriguing story that captured my heart. I loved her characters and didn’t want the tale to end. The author recently spoke to my book club and I was impressed with how much research went into every detail of the book. The reader on this audio recording did a great job. I found her southern accents very easy to listening to, unlike those of many narrators. Overall, this is a five star book for me.

It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.

Fabulous story and reader!

When I heard the introduction to the story I thought that this could not possibly hold my interest. Wow! Was I wrong! This is the sweetest most uplifting story I’ve heard in a long time!
