Title: Project MulberryAuthor: Linda Sue Park
Recommended for: Grades 3-6
Julia and her best friend Patrick are in the Wiggle Club, which aims to teach kids about farming (something that fewer and fewer of us have experience with as generations pass). As Wiggle Club members, they have to create a project that, if good enough, gets to be entered into the state fair. Julia and Patrick end up deciding to raise silkworms, although Julia isn't a big fan of the idea. Through the project, they encounter many challenges: finding a way to raise the silkworms, disagreements both as friends and project partners, and also personal obstacles.
Will Project Mulberry be a success for Julia and Patrick? If you are a fan of science, learning about different cultures, stories about friendship, or realistic fiction, pick up this book by the Newbery-winning author Linda Sue Park.
