Lanie's Real Adventures (American Girl Today)
Lanie is having a busy summer. The backyard wildflower garden she planted with her aunt is starting to bloom with all the flowers that butterflies like best. Lanie is delighted, but her next-door neighbor objects-she says that Lanie is growing an ugly "weed garden" and she threatens to interfere. As she searches for ways to spread the word about the benefits of natural gardening, Lanie is horrified to discover the neighbor using poisonous sprays next door-pesticides that could hurt the butterflies and birds nesting in the garden. Can Lanie find a way to get along with her neighbor-and find a creative solution to their garden problem?
