Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood “wishtreeâ€? â€- people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Redâ€(TM)s branches. Along with her crow friend Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Redâ€(TM)s hollows^ this “wishtreeâ€? watches over the neighborhood. You might say Red has seen it all. Until a new family moves in. Not everyone is welcoming^ and Redâ€(TM)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.
