A Berry Good Project

“Plants just grow, right? I mean, they’re everywhere. How much work can it be?”
When Rowan’s class is put in charge of the strawberry field this year, he thinks it will be all sweet reward. However, he quickly learns that humans aren’t the only ones around that love strawberries. With the project’s success on the line, Rowan’s class must think fast how to save the strawberry crop.
