Book Description
Sixteen-year-old Jessamine Luxton is heartbroken. Her true love, Weed, the strange but intriguing young man who came into her life so suddenly, has disappeared. How could he have left her with no farewell, and no word since? Jessamine may not know why Weed vanished, but she does suspect that her own father, Thomas, may have had something to do with it. Thomas, who was so obsessed with Weed’s secret knowledge of dangerous plants that he would do anything to learn it. This suspicion—and her experiences with poisons—has changed her. She is no longer innocent, and now she has her own intimate knowledge of the power of the plants. So when Jessamine learns that Weed is alive, she will do whatever it takes to be reunited with him. She is, after all, her father’s daughter. . . .

Book Description
This beautifully illustrated volume is a facsimile of the journal of "Weed" found at Alnwick Castle. Weed was an orphan boy apprenticed to an evil old apothecary, who used him abysmally. This is his diary, and a sorry tale of the battle between good and evil it is too. Weed’s journal is part botanical workbook and part a diary of his own relationship with the poisonous plants, for he discovers that he is one of a few people with whom the plants can talk. The plants try to persuade Weed that with their help his master can easily be disposed of. Weed at first refuses. However, after his first love, Marigold, experiments with the poisons and dies, Weed is pushed over the edge and eventually plots to kill his master in spectacular fashion, using a taste of his own evil medicine. Each “chapter” of the story starts with Weed making botanical notes of the plants as his master has taught him. The plant’s appearance and properties, where it is found, how it should be cared for, the most poisonous parts, how poison is extracted and administered, etc. These notes are accompanied by sketches of the plants in their natural form. Alongside, however, are Weed’s illustrated “diary” entries which show the “real” personalities of the plants. The poisons include Belladonna, Ergot, Hemlock, Henbane, Opium, Hogweed, Ricin, Nicotinia, Mandrake and Strychnine. This gothic yet entertaining tale will delight both children and adults and also serves as an educational parable.
