About the Book: Tender Earth
Returning to the world of Artichoke Hearts, this story follows eleven-year-old
Laila, the youngest of the Levenson family, as she adjusts to her two older
siblings, Mira and Krish, leaving home, just as she is starting secondary
school. At the same time she seems to be growing apart from her long-time best
friend, Kez, who is branching out without her at their new school. Laila must
find her own place at school and at home, make new friends and use her voice as
she steps out into the world and discovers what she truly believes in.
