Description: Basketball-loving Jackson Jones never wanted any part of Rooter&#8217;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&#8217;s, he can&#8217;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&#8212;and going to great lengths to avoid a fearsome bully who loves to taunt him&#8212;Jackson sets out to save Rooter&#8217;s. But coming up with a winning strategy isn&#8217;t so easy.   From the Hardcover edition.
