I think that because ​it explains that you should go green that is why this book is good.**
 * The following questions were taken from :** http://www.ttms.org/say_about_a_book/say_about_a_book.htm 
 * Big Question #1: What makes this book good?

**Big Question #2: What would make this book better?** As a critic, it’s important to be honest. And honestly, some parts of some books are pretty bad.

I thought that the author should not have not left me on a hook. Lisa Greenwald should make her single book into a series.

The book was all about going green, and our econemy.
 * Big Question #3: What’s the one most important thing the author wants you to know?** This is the main idea. It’s almost as though you could squeeze a whole book down to a __single sentence__ and say that’s what it was all about.

**Big Question #4: Why did the writer write this?** Why did the author bother to tell this story? What is it about this particular story that the author thought was so important? Was it just for fun or to teach something? l think the writer wrote this so people can slow down and relax, also so people can see what is going on with our world.

**Big Question #5: What does the audience need to know to understand and enjoy the book?** In other words, what background knowledge would be good to have prior to reading this book? The backround knowledge the author needs to know is;
 * What a pharmacy is
 * How our economic system is
 * What it means to go green.

Mr. J I do not know if you will see this or not, but this book was amazing, and absouloutly true. I just wished they did not just leave me on a hook.
