Any chance it's "The Green Book" by Jill Patton Walsh? I know they could only bring one book, and the green book was a journal (the girl is telling the story in the journal). They left a dying earth and went to a new planet, where they had trouble growing crops (they would turn brittle and shatter), the grass is shiny/glassy, and the wood is too hard to cut. I think they found a natural amphitheater at one point...and there may have been something involving large mysterious spherical objects on the landscape.

Does that sound right?
