Book Reviews of Project Mulberry
Book Review: Project Mulberry is a great book
Summary: 4 Stars
Hello, I'm StoryMaker. Some time ago, my mom told me to read Project
Mulberry. I was reluctant at first, as I usually am with books Mom
assigns me. However, it didn't take long to discover Project Mulberry
was a great book. At first, I only read a few chapters at a time, but
at one point I got so hooked I couldn't put it down. This book is very
well-written and has a great storyline.
This book centers around a girl named Julia Song. Her parents are
Korean and her best friend is a boy named Patrick. She has an annoying
(to her, at least) little brother who goes by the name of Kenny.
Patrick and her are members of a club called "WGGL", often pronounced
Wiggle. When Julia & Patrick decide to work on a Wiggle Club project,
Julia's mother suggests they raise silkworms. However, Julia fears this
project is so obviously Korean, and dislikes the idea (although she
pretends to like it). Throughout this book, Julia faces many different
struggles. One great feature is that it's easy to feel what Julia is
feeling.
As I said, this book is well-written, and I got hooked. I recommend it
highly. It's up to you to decide if you want to buy it or just get it
from the library - either way, this baby is well worth it. In-between
chapters, there's a section about Julia talking to her creator and the
author of this book, Linda Sue Park (referred to as "Ms. Park" in these
sections). These are interesting and it's kind of nice that they're
there, but one thing that another reviewer mentioned as well: in the
in-between sections, Julia acts rather bratty, and is not very similar
to her main-book counterpart.
One thing that you should probably know about: this book mentions race,
and it's not the type you run in. You see, it's hinted that Julia's
mother is, well, racist. In fact, it's more than "hinted", as Julia
suspects it to some extent. This does not, by any means, make this book
bad, however. It just means you should be cautious.
Overall, this is a great book. It's better if you are in 4th Grade or
older, because A) it mentions race and B) it's pretty long, anyway.
Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
