If you enjoyed reading Love that Dog or Hate that Cat (both by Sharon Creech) you might want to pick up Grow: A Novel in Verse by Juanita Havill. Twelve year old Kate joins Berneetha, the neighborhood "fat lady" to transform an empty lot into a beautiful garden. Along the way we meet up with Harlan, a troubled young man who wants to be given a second chance along with a host of others who realize the value of community. A quick and delightful read.
