Richie's Picks: ONE GOOD APPLE
The history of pesticide use in the US, the current dangers from pesticides to consumers and farm workers (and their families), and the alternatives to chemical agriculture are explained at a level easily understood by middle school students. Many a reader will be thinking about what he or she is eating long after consuming this book.

Perpetuates the DDT Myth
This book, sadly, perpetuates the myth that DDT is harmful. This book should not be bought and is hardly worth reading. It seems to be made for children, as there is not much content. I did see some interesting varieties of apples and tomatoes in the book, but that hardly makes it worth buying.
