-Descripcion Original:

An oak tree and a crow help their neighbors embrace their differences in this beautiful, nuanced, New York Times-bestselling middle-grade novel from Newbery Medalist author Katherine Applegate. Trees cant tell jokes, but they can certainly tell stories. . . . 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 Reds branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Reds 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 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. This book has Common Core connections.
