Project Mulberry - Linda Sue Park
Julia Song and her friend Patrick would love to win a blue ribbon, maybe
even two, at the state fair. They’ve always done projects together, and
they work well as a team. This time, though, they’re having trouble
coming up with just the right project. Then Julia’s mother offers a
suggestion: They can raise silkworms, as she did when she was a girl in
Korea.
Patrick thinks it’s a great idea. Of course there are
obstacles—for example, where will they get mulberry leaves, the only
thing silkworms eat?—but nothing they can’t handle.
Julia isn’t
so sure. The club where kids do their projects is all about traditional
American stuff, and raising silkworms just doesn’t fit in. Moreover, the
author, Ms. Park, seems determined to make Julia’s life as complicated
as possible, no matter how hard Julia tries to talk her out of it.(Amazon)
MY THOUGHTS:
Really liked this book, it is a Junior Fiction book at my library....I got this book at the Library Book Sale for 25 cents. It' really interesting learning about Mulberries and their history with Silk Worms.
I give the book 5*****
