The Year of the Garden

118 pp. | Houghton | April, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-544-66444-9 $15.99
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Patrice Barton. Chinese American Anna Wang, eight, has just moved to a new house; over (part of) a year, she begins an up-and-down friendship with neighbor Laura, rescues a baby bunny, starts a garden, and celebrates a birthday. Although fans may be happy for more of Anna's story, this brief prequel mostly revisits themes of The Year of the Book, albeit less memorably and cohesively.
