About Forget-Her-Nots:

While researching the Victorian language of flowers for a project at boarding school, 14-year-old Laurel discovers that her bouquets (or tussie-mussies) have peculiar effects on whomever she gives them to: a spinster teacher finds love, a classmate aces a test, and another attracts boys like flies. Luckily, Ms. Suarez, the head of the conservatory, is there to explain Laurel’s gifts—she is a Flowerspeaker, one of an ancient line of people who can use flowers to influence feelings. Unfortunately, Laurel ignores her advice not to meddle, and a string of misused flowers create friction with Laurel’s father and friends, culminating in a memorably chaotic prom. The premise is charming and unique, and White has certainly done her research into the history and meanings of flowers. Laurel is sympathetic despite being a little slow to figure things out, but the other characters are generic and the story is a bit slight and predictable. Still, this diverting read will be popular with girls expecting magic and romance. Grades 7-10. --Krista Hutley
