"A red oak tree and a crow help their human neighbors work out their differences"-- - Baker & Taylor

A wise old oak tree that stands as the neighborhood's "wishtree," where people write wishes on cloth and tie them to her branches, shares her days with her crow friend and helps the community embrace differences when new neighbors move in and are not warmly welcomed. By the Newbery Medal-winning author ofThe One and Only Ivan . Simultaneous eBook. - McMillan Palgrave
An oak tree and a crow help their neighbors embrace their differences in this beautiful, nuanced middle-grade novel from Newbery Medalist and New York Timesâbestselling author Katherine Applegate. - McMillan Palgrave
From #1 New York Times-bestelling author of Odder and The One and Only Ivan.
"Beautiful in every way one can imagine. Everyone should read this book." âR.J. Palacio, bestselling author of Wonder, White Bird, and Pony
Trees can't tell jokes, but they can certainly tell stories. . . .
Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood "wishtree"âpeople write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood.
You might say Red has seen it all.
Until a new family moves in. Not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experience as a wishtree is more important than ever.
Funny, deep, warm, and nuanced, this is Katherine Applegate at her very bestâwriting from the heart, and from a completely unexpected point of view.
