ThenJulia's mother suggests they raise silkworms as she did years ago in Korea. The optimistic twosome quickly realizes that raising silkworms is a lot tougher than they thought. And Julia never suspected that she'd be discussing the fate of her and Patrick's project with Ms. Park, the author of this book!

    " Book covers so much - intimate lifecycle of silkworms, basic embroidery, sustainable farming and ethics of raising farm animals, racism, what it takes to be a good friend. Realistic, fun dialog. Author/main character banter following each chapter shows young writers how a storyline and characters are developed. "

    " This was a sometimes tender yet always real-feeling story of friendship and assimilation leavened with some humor and quirkiness. I'd honestly give it 3.75 stars, because it's a good read, but not quite great (my standard for 4 star review). "

    " Excellent book about Korean American girl Julia and her best friend Patrick who raise silk worms as a project to enter into the state fair. Lots of themes of varied depth in this one.
