Description
Trees can't 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 Red's branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's 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 Red's 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.
Advance Praise
'The simplicity of Newbery Medalist Applegate's graceful novel contrasts powerfully with the prejudice it confronts ... It's a distinctive call for kindness, delivered by an unforgettable narrator' ― Publishers Weekly
‘I love Katherine Applegate’s books: they’re so intelligent, so richly witty and so wise that they feel like living, breathing things.’ – Katherine Rundell
