(2) 4-6 In Jackson Jones and the Puddle of Thorns, Jackson's tenth birthday present was not the basketball he had wanted but a plot in a community garden. Now the city garden is under threat from a developer. Quattlebaum's talent for depicting a lively, diverse neighborhood and funny interchanges between kids remains strong, as does her gift for simple, conversational writing.
