Project Mulberry
by Linda Sue Park (Author)
Julia Song and her friend Patrick would love to win a blue ribbon, maybe even two, at the state fair. This time, though, they're having trouble coming up with just the right plan. 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. But for Julia, a simple summer project turns out to be much more complicated than she thought.
