Jackson Jones and Mission Greentop

Jackson loves basketball! He wants to play basketball all summer, although he can't. His mother got him a plot in a garden. He works with his plants there. He doesn't like it. He starts working there so much he gradually comes to like it. Then he gets a phone call telling him the garden is going to be plowed up. Jackson wants to prevent it. Will he? The reader will be very surprised by what he does. I liked this book very much! I hope Ms. Quattlebaum writes a sequel to this book! Delmar 9 years old Washington,DC

Best book I've read this summer!

I am eleven years old and "Jackson Jones and Mission Greentop" was the best book I read this summer! I like the part when Jackson finally got Blood Green, the bully. I also like the part when Jackson goes down to the company to talk with the boss! The most interesting thing was when I found out who the boss was.... John Mechanicsville, Virginia
