Description

Trees cant tell jokes but they can certainly tell stories

Red is an oak tree who is many rings old Red is the neighbourhood wishtree people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Reds branches Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Reds hollows this wishtree watches over the neighbourhood

You might say Red has seen it all

Until a new family moves in Not everyone is welcoming and Reds experience as a wishtree is more important than ever

Funny deep warm and nuanced this is Katherine Applegate at her very best writing from the heart and from a completely unexpected point of view
