Description:
A fascinating account for teen readers that captures the history, science, and economic and cultural implications of the harvesting of cacao and creation of chocolate. Readers of "Chew On This" and "The Omnivore's Dilemma" will savor this rich expose. This history of the beloved food explains how cacao also has been a currency, a royal drink, a means of diplomacy, a slave-produced commodity, and a boon to farmers.
