Project Mulberry by Linda Sue Park

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


PROJECT MULBERRY is a wonderful book. Julia and her friend Patrick have a project to do for the farming club that they are in. They want to raise an animal for the category Animal Husbandry, but they're not sure what animal. Julia's mom suggests silkworms. Patrick loves the idea, but Julia has problems with it. She thinks it is too Korean. Julia is Korean, and sometimes she gets teased for it. Julia won't admit that she doesn't like the idea, so she goes along with it, secretly doing everything she can to stop it.



PROJECT MULBERRY has very realistic characters. The kids in it act and talk like kids, and they have real-kid problems. This book also has funny sections in between chapters where Julia "talks" to the author, Linda Sue Park. If you're looking for an interesting, realistic fiction novel, you have to read PROJECT MULBERRY.
