Marya Khan and the Fabulous Jasmine Garden (Marya Khan #2) by Saadia Faruqi

Perfect for fans of Ivy & Bean and Dory Fantasmagory, this charming chapter book series by the author of the successful Yasmin series follows a Pakistani-American third-grader whose plans may backfire but whose persistence and heart are inspiring—now in paperback! Marya’s school is creating a community garden for students to take care of, and Marya is super excited. Not only will her third-grade class be the first to work on it, but Marya’s mom will be teaching the students all about gardening. Most importantly, one student will be chosen to lead the charge.
