Jackson Jones and the Curse of the Outlaw Rose
Mary Quattlebaum
(Author)
Description
JACKSON JONES CAN'T get away from roses. First his mother got him a plot at Rooter's, a community garden where Jackson planted a rosebush of thorns and no blooms. Now Mr. K., a fellow gardener, enlists Jackson's help to rustle up some rare old-time roses. The kind that grow in cemeteries! And no sooner do Jackson and his friend Reuben take the rose cutting home than Reuben's gloom-and-doom talk of curses seems real.

Reviews
"A well-written, fast-paced adventure for early chapter book readers. Engaging characters, a unique mystery, and the familiarity of returning cast members makes this an appealing selection."--School Library Journal "Once again Jackson's wry contemporary narrative packs exciting facts about plants and how they grow into a warm story of friends and neighbors."--Booklist
