Nina Soni, Master of the Garden

Indian-American girl Nina Soni has big plans for her garden, but they don’t include bugs, slugs, and rabbits.

“Plants aren’t the only things that grow in this book about perseverance, friendship, and personal growth.” ―Kirkus Reviews

Lovable Indian-American girl Nina Soni returns in the third installment of this award-winning chapter book series from author Kashmira Sheth.

It's Take Your Child to Work Day, and Nina, Kavita, and Jay are all going to work with Mom, a landscape architect, to learn how to start a garden. Naturally that's not enough for Nina, who quickly develops big plans for a business selling the vegetables she plans to grow. But her plans don't include managing the problems that inevitably arise, including rabbits, slugs, mosquitos, and more!

Readers are sure to relate to Sheth’s endearing Nina Soni, her family and friends, and her slightly scatter-brained efforts to manage her life with lists, definitions, and real-life math problems. A fun read for diverse book collections as well as for STEAM enthusiasts!
