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.
