He spoke of how some plants and parasites are able to detect each other with chemicals. “And at least one parasitic plant homes in on its host’s telltale chemical scent” (Jabr, 48). When I read this article I thought of how the plants use chemicals offensively. I…

I chose Wicked Plants by Amy Stewart over the others on the list of approved books because it sounded more interesting and more relevant than some that just focused on one branch of Botany, instead of the entire wicked spectrum like Stewart does.

his cheeks were flushed bright pink due to exertion. Only a few paces away from Percival now, the little boy tripped over the too-large sword he carried, and the weapon went sailing into the air. Percival was forced to duck to avoid the flying projectile. Meanwhile, the child stumbled forward and collapsed on the castle training field face first at Percival’s feet. “Friend of yours?” asked Sir Gwaine, Percival’s best mate and fellow Knight of Camelot.
