Description
"Weed - an orphan boy who apprentices with an evil old apothecary - is both used and abused. His journal is part botanical workbook and part dary of his own relationship with poisonous plants. Weed discovers that he is one of the few people whom the plants talk to, and they try to persuade him that with their help his master can easily be disposed of..." -- Book Jacket.
