Jackson Jones series by Mary Quattlebaum (#1,2)
Requirements: .ePUB reader,4.7 mb
Overview: I grew up in the country in a large family (7 kids), with lots of pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, horses, turtles, chickens, ducks). My earliest memory is of my dad reciting nursery rhymes to me and my brothers and sisters, right before bedtime. We could each choose one. My favorite was “Hickory Dickory Dock,” and one of my sisters always wanted “Little Bo Peep.”
I’ve loved poetry and sounds ever since: the bobwhite call of quail, the whicker of horses, the murmur of frogs in our pond….
Genre: young adult
Jackson Jones and the Puddle of Thorns
Nothing but a big mess of trouble and weeds..
That’s what Jackson Jones thinks of the garden plot his mother gives him for his tenth birthday. What happened to the basketball he’s hoped and prayed for all year?
When Jackson comes up with a moneymaking scheme for the garden, it doesn’t seem so bad after all. He even cuts his friends in on the action. But before long, Jackson finds out that friends and business don’t always mix. When the neighborhood bully calls him "Bouquet Jones," Jackson is ready to give up. Maybe gardens don’t belong in cities after all….
Winner of the first annual Marguerite de Angeli Prize.
Jackson Jones and Mission Greentop
Basketball-loving Jackson Jones never wanted any part of Rooter’s, the community garden where his mother got him his very own plot for his 10th birthday. But he made the best of it, even planting a thorny rosebush. Now, after months of watering, weeding, and waiting, red roses have finally bloomed. So when Jackson learns that big city developers want to bulldoze Rooter’s, he can’t believe it. The garden means something to him, and he likes hanging out with the neighbors who tend their own plots. But what can Jackson do?
With unasked-for help from well-meaning friends—and going to great lengths to avoid a fearsome bully who loves to taunt him—Jackson sets out to save Rooter’s. But coming up with a winning strategy isn’t so easy.
