    Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? The US Supreme Court takes on the case in this juicy history book for kids ages 7 to 10. 
  
In the late 1800s, American produce king John Nix just wanted to sell tomatoes. But when import taxes on popular vegetables impacted his profits, he knew he had to remedy the situation. Nix set out to prove that tomatoes, which have seeds and grow on vines, were clearly fruits. That was the claim Nix argued all the way to the US Supreme Court. With Nix on Team Fruit, and the US government on Team Vegetable, both sides slung definition after definition in an epic, legal food fight. This little-known agriculturally based story from American history will fascinate young readers and encourage them to take a stand and defend their opinions. 
  
★ "The Supreme Court battle over the definition of a tomato plays out in a humorous children's […] book which is most certainly guilty of being a remarkable read."—Shelf Awareness, starred review
