Overview
In this contemporary novel, Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park delivers a funny, lively story that illuminates both the process of writing a novel and the meaning of growing up American.
"A rich work that treats serious issues with warmth, respect, and a good deal of humor" (Kirkus starred review). Perfect for both independent reading and classroom sharing.
Julia Song and her friend Patrick would love to win a blue ribbon, maybe even two, at the state fair. Theyāve always done projects together, and they work well as a team. This time, though, theyāre having trouble coming up with just the right project. Then Juliaās mother offers a suggestion: They can raise silkworms, as she did when she was a girl in Korea.
Patrick thinks itās a great idea. Of course there are obstaclesāfor example, where will they get mulberry leaves, the only thing silkworms eat?ābut nothing they canāt handle.
Julia isnāt so sure. The club where kids do their projects is all about traditional American stuff, and raising silkworms just doesnāt fit in. Moreover, the author, Ms. Park, seems determined to make Juliaās life as complicated as possible, no matter how hard Julia tries to talk her out of it.
