Two kids, two bikes, and an idea they can change their world. It's 2077. There's no apocalypse, but some things are different. Things like the weather, the internet, and food. In twelve-year-old Clare's world, blueberry is just a flavor and apples are found only in fairy tales. One day Clare meets an elderly woman who teaches her about seeds and real food. The woman (Ana) tempts Clare with the notion that food exists other than the square, packaged food she has always known. With Ana's guidance, Clare and her friends learn about seeds and gardening despite suspicions that such actions are illegal. When the authorities discover the children's forbidden tomato plant and arrest their mother, Clare and her brother flee. Clare has heard of a place called "The Garden State, " and with their bikes, a little money, and backpacks, the children begin a lonely cross-country journey that tests them both physically and spiritually. Will they succeed in their quest to find a place of food freedom, eluding the evil GRIM and the difficulties of their journey? And can they, only children, help change the world? Treasure deals with family relationships, internal struggles, intergenerational mentoring, and making a difference at any age.
