Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller As we now expect from Katherine Applegate, this is a resounding narrative rich with human emotions, told strictly from non-human perspectives. It’s the story of a tree and the community it cultivates, and it is a gorgeous story that will fill young readers with warmth. Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood “wishtree” people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches. Along with her crow friend 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 experiences as a wishtree are more important than ever. Funny, deep, warm, and nuanced, Wishtree is Katherine Applegate at her very best, writing from the heart.
