Title: Project Mulberry Author: Linda Sue Park media type="custom" key="7801063" Have you ever thought of doing a project about silkworms? Well think about doing a silkworm project just because your best friend wants to. Silkworm projects are very hard to do and you need to be commited to doing the project if you really wanted to. With just two normal people going to school every day, it makes it difficult to have enough time to do the silkworm project. The book Project Mulberry by Linda Sue Park takes you through many exciting adventures including doing a project about silkworms. I thought this book was very exciting and entertaining, and it was hard for me to put it down.  Julia does not want to do a project about silkworms because she thinks its too Korean. On the other hand, her best friend Patrick is excited to do the project because he loves the idea of doing a silkwork project. This book is related to science because they explain each step of the growing of silkworms. It is actually very interesting to know how they grow. There are many different steps in how silkworms grow and it is alot of hard work as well. The author's style in this book is very unique and different from some other books I have read. In between the end of the chapter and the start of the next chapter, she puts conversations of her and the main character, Julia. They usually talk about how the book is going and Julia does not always like the way that the book is going. Near the end, she is satisfied with how the book ends. Also, Linda Sue Park leaves you hanging on almost every chapter which causes you to want to read more and more. It was always hard to put down. Whenever I do put this book down, I would keep thinking about what might happen next. I really like the authors writing style. Julia is just a normal girl who is Korean. She dosen't want people knowing or thinking about her being Korean. She thinks that the silkworm project is just too Korean which is why she does not want to to it. Patrick, Julia's best friend, is a very nice and helpful guy. He loves the idea of doing the project because it would be a good idea to learn more about silkworms. I love the characters in this book because they have great personalities. Whenever they are getting along, it makes me feel like the book is happy and every thing is going just right. When they aren't getting along, it seems like the whole entire book is falling apart. Whenever the book is talking about where they are, it is always easy to picture in your head. This book mostly takes place in the school, or at Julia's house. It is compared to the world today beacuse, on week days, your are mostly either at school, at your house, or at a friends house, just like the book. Also, the setting is always well described. They are sometimes arguing about the project. They both end up doing the project and really enjoy it. Even though Julia didn't think she would like the project at all, she ends up loving it and is glad that they did it. They also need to find somebody with a Mulberry tree because the worms only eat Mulberry leaves. It takes a long time for them to find somebody with a Mulberry tree. Julia is just like many people in many ways. Same personality and style as some people. She is almost always happy, just like me. Many people can make connections with Julia and other characters in this book, which helps the book be interesting and exciting. I would reccomend this book to just about anybody who enjoys reading books that are funny, interesting, entertaining, and exciting. I absoulutly loved this book and I'm sure other people would as well. To find out more and read on to see what they actually do with this project, read this book. I'm sure that people like me will love this book and want to read more books by Linda Sue Park.
