The last thing Carol wanted to do was spend the summer at her Grandpa's ranch in the desert. However, her grandpa was in failing health and she and her family needed to go get the ranch ready to sell. When they arrive, they find Grandpa Serge in worse shape than they thought. He was rambling about bees, a magic tree and a green glass lake. Carol learned to listen to Grandpa Serge and form a bond with him she did not think possible.
This book is a about family coping with the changes of an aging parent/grandparent. I found it likable but I didn't love it. I am not a huge fan of magical realism and I didn't always think the magical parts were cohesive to the story.
