Not many people have read this book (looks like none have on Litsy), but it‘s one I bought in 2023 at the book fair. HF, set during 1941 in North Carolina, when our government promoted growing kudzu in the South, an invasive plant. This is a coming-of-age story, with Mattie as the MC. She is fiercely loving & protective of her family & friends, stubborn, curious, and a teenager. At first, everyone is taken with the Kudzu King who comes to sell 👇

Scochrane26 (Continued) plant but he may not be a good guy. I loved most of the characters, some I hated. I really loved this story—you all should check it out. Some TWs but they‘re mostly off-page. #bookspin for April 4mo
