Sorrel Fallowfield is growing up in a REALLY surprising way

Sorrel Fallowfield is so good at being good that teachers come to her when they need help remembering the school rules and there are LOTS.

Luckily, Sorrel doesnt have any trouble following them, until the day she discovers a faded packet of Surprising Seeds buried under a tree in her backyard.

Now shes hearing voices, seeing things, experiencing an almost unstoppable urge to plant the Seeds in some very unusual places and completely failing to win her schools competition to find The Most Obedient Child of the School.

And all thats before flowers start growing out of her head
