Biotechnology crop production area increased from 1.7 million hectares to 148 million hectares worldwide between 1996 and 2010. While genetically modified food is a contentious issue, the debates are usually limited to health and environmental concerns, ignoring the broader questions of social control that arise when food production methods become corporate-owned intellectual property.

Fine voice, clear reading
Revisado: 04-26-15
Miss Baney's flexible voice and fine intelligence makes a complex subject easier to follow. One can appreciate the nuances of a topic that could become overly emotional if not read with understanding and balance. Well done!

This story is perfectly wonderful, sweet and tart like oranges. It is placed in the present day, with real problems children face, some of them serious ones. The performance is perfect This story is acted, not just read. The narrator inhabits the story, telling it in the 23 voices of the characters, including a parrot, and also sings beautifully. Even if you don't often read or listen to "children's books" you will enjoy this one if you appreciate emotional truth, suspense, and perfect endings.

On the eve of her ninth birthday, unassuming Rose Edelstein, a girl at the periphery of schoolyard games and her distracted parents’ attention, bites into her mother’s homemade lemon-chocolate cake and discovers she has a magical gift: she can taste her mother’s emotions in the cake. She discovers this gift to her horror, for her mother—her cheerful, good-with-crafts, can-do mother—tastes of despair and desperation. Suddenly, and for the rest of her life, food becomes a peril and a threat to Rose.

Particular sadness of reading a disappointing book
Revisado: 12-02-10
The premise seemed interesting, but the development of the story was so slow, so painful, that I lost interest.It took forever to learn that there was more to the story than the girl tasting people's emotions, and if I hadn't been doing something that was really interesting while listening, I think I would have quit. The family's other "skills" hardly showed up until the end. I love description, when it's done right, but in this book, I thought the details were tedious. I do not recommend this book.
