Beth Hautala

Thirteen-year-old Persephone Pearl Clark has never met a plant that wouldn't bud or bloom for her. But lately, between the accident that left her older brother, Levi, with an irreversible brain injury; a messy fight with her once-best-friend, Mya; and a pile of lies growing faster than the stack of medical bills she collects from the post office every day, Persephone is stuck. She would give anything to change things for her family, but unfortunately, money doesn't grow on trees. So when she stumbles upon Levi's unfinished application submitting their hometown of Coulter, Wisconsin, to Small Town Revival - the famous makeover show with a large financial prize attached - Persephone forges her older brother's signature and sends it in. But as small-town gossip takes root and Persephone's lies grow like weeds, the things that once bloomed for her are wilting instead. With the help of unexpected allies, including a wonderful but peculiar old woman and her possibly magical cat, Persephone learns that everything blooms when it's ready
