Polly Peabody lives on Rupert's Rhubarb Farm where the rhubarb tastes like chocolate and it rains every Monday at 1:00. Diamonds sprouted from the ground around her grandmother's body when she died. Polly's family's home is a castle and a green glass house. Visitors come to the farm to ride a giant red umbrella when it rains. To say this farm in unusual is not accurate enough. It is, indeed, magic. Suddenly the rain stops, the plants begin to wither, Freddy gets sick, Harry - the "talking" plant, is nearly destroyed, and Polly's father loses his research funding from Dunbar. Polly seeks to find solutions - with the help of her science teacher, Owen.
