Book Review: Backyard

  When a gardening competition in the small Michigan town of Livia heats up, Dr. Phyllis Sproot is the first to create some sparks. Norman Draper's tale, Backyard, is a hilarious account of   all the competitors involved and their villanous ways of cheating their way to the top. It is sure to keep even the most novice of gardeners involved and entertained, and West Lafayette Public Library Director Nick Schenkel has the review.
