I'm a big fan of Rob Thomas and this book did not disappoint. I'm also really glad it's directed at the younger reader since junior high kids have probably missed his other titles.

Green Thumb - Rob Thomas. Bobby Ross edges in closer to me, but there’s nowhere for me to escape since Ed Stimmons has parked his wide self right behind me. When I get home from school, my mom’s in the living room talking to the ferns. She doesn’t hear me enter the living room, so I just stand there listening. Someday I’m going to get this on tape and sell it to America’s Funniest Home Videos. And I told her that if you keep giving her money, if you don’t cut her off, she’s never going to learn to fend for herself, but Mom says, ‘Connie, she’s my daughter, she’s your sister, we can’t just give up on he. Hilarious.

Reviews about Green Thumb (4):
Kipabi
The characters are real, the plot is possible, and Rob Thomas puts the "full-court press" to THE GRAPES OF WRATH. As a result the "juvenile" grape juice tastes better than most "adult" w[-h-]ine. In this case the detective story is as good as his famous VERONICA MARS stories but with a male hero instead of a female Veronica Mars.
If you liked Colfer's HALF-MOON INVESTIGATIONS, then you'll like GREEN THUMB.
In general, if you liked the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, then check out the Percy Jackson series of FIVE books by Rick Riordan (the rest of Rick Riordan's juvenile fiction SUCK Big Time--be warned; Riordan's adult mystery fiction is quite good though), any of Brendan Mull's books (especially the Candy Shop series and the Fablehaven series) and any of Lloyd Alexander' books (especially The Remarkable Journey Of Prince Jen, The Rope Trick, and the FIVE book series The Book Of Three Chronicles), and the books of Suzanne Collins (especially The Hunger Games series).
My all-time favorite book is by award-winning authoress C.J. Cherryh and is entitled THE PALADIN. It's a kind of Pygmalion samurai fairy-tale, and is even better than the Japanese classic THE RONIN.

This book is a new twist from Rob Thomas, who dabbles in the sci-fi aspect. The story is straight forward...and continues the running themes of "fitting in" and not being singled out for teenagers. Grady uses his mind and is a very pro-active character willing to do what is needed to be done, and Grady's subtle humor will appeal to most of Thomas's fans. Grady is a wonderful character and I was very glad to get to know him...despite the "childish" cover it is worth your time and effort, especially for the visual descriptions of the rainforest.

I'm a big fan of Rob Thomas and this book did not disappoint. I'm also really glad it's directed at the younger reader since junior high kids have probably missed his other titles. (Rats Saw God, Slave Day, Satellite Down) The main character, Grady, is instantly likable while we witness him outwitting his football-star bullies by covertly pelting them with spitballs covered in hair remover. These bullies have beat him up for the last time, however, when he travels to the Amazon rain forest as part of a tree-growing research team. He loses his extra weight & puts on muscle. Not to mention saving the jungle from a mad scientist. It's a fun story that teens will love, with a main character that some may identify with. Keep 'em coming, Rob!!

Grady is a very smart kid and because of it he is asked to spend a couple of weeks with a famous botanist. They are planing to save the forest with special trees. Grady discovers away to speak with the trees with different sounds. He finds out that the trees aren't helping the environment, they're killing it. When people figure out what grady is doing, he runs away. He camps with some indians. Grady teams up with the indians to try to save the rainforest. Can they do it, or will they fail?
