From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5–Jackson Jones is back with the same authentic voice and enthusiasm for life, but this time he's up to his elbows in dirt. His mother, concerned that he is too much of a city boy, gives him a plot in the community garden for his 10th birthday. While he digs, sows, waters, and waits, his crop is mostly weeds except for "the unspeakable Z," zucchini. Meanwhile, he has problems with the school bully and he uses his brains, rather than his nonexistent brawn, to defeat the business group that wants to develop the site. Things may be resolved a little too quickly but there is a nice prickly punishment for the bully and the garden survives the corporate takeover. Jackson's way of looking at life is original and appealing–"Other kids have brothers, sisters, pets; I live with a six-foot ficus."–Edith Ching, St. Albans School, Mt. St. Alban, Washington, DC

Product Description
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.
