Synopsis
While working on a project for an after-school club, Julia, a Korean American girl, and her friend Patrick learn not just about silkworms, but also about tolerance, prejudice, friendship, patience, and more. Between the chapters are short dialogues between the author and main character about the writing of the book.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Patrick and I became friends because of a vegetable. Not just any vegetable. A cabbage. And not just any old cabbage."
Industry Reviews
"Besides celebrating intergenerational and interracial friendships, and presenting interesting details about the silkworm life cycle, the book introduces many issues relevant to budding adolescents."
Publishers Weekly (03/14/2005)
"A rich work that treats serious issues with warmth, respect and a good deal of humor."
Kirkus (04/01/2005)
"Park has a sensitive ear for the nuances of self-doubt and burgeoning self-awareness that permeate junior-high experience...."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (07/01/2005)
"There are big issues in Park's latest novel--conservation, prejudice, patriotism, biology, and more. But the Newbery-winning writer never allows them to swamp the story; in fact, it's the compelling characters and their passionate differences and commitments that drive the plot."
Booklist (02/15/2005)
"This tale will have wide appeal."
School Library Journal (05/01/2005)
