Below the Root
Below the Root | Zilpha Keatley Snyder
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Raamo, at thirteen, had rarely doubted the wisdom of the Ol-zhaan, the unquestioned rulers of the Green-Sky planet. Yet, after he had been chosen to become an Ol-zhaan, he made surprising discoveries and was exposed to dangers different form any he had envisioned. The world of Green-Sky was not what he and the Kindar people had thought. This engrossing science fiction fantasy was first published by Atheneum in 1978 and is the first book of the Green-Sky Trilogy. It was a Junior Library Guild selection that became the basis for the acclaimed and now classic video game, Below The Root.

Spring: Below the Root by Zilpha Keatley Snyder—a favorite from childhood, and the living-in-trees setting feels perfect for spring
Summer: The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall—This series is a PERFECT summer MG read
Fall: The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier—creepy October vibes
Winter: Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia Sorensen—I have such strong memories of the winter maple syrup scenes!

I first discovered the Green Sky trilogy in my middle school library and fell in love. It was already out of print then and I set about trying to collect copies in whatever format I could. I've always been big on nature and remember wishing I also lived high in the trees of a forest village. 🌳🍄🌿
