The New York Times Book Review "The simplicity of Newbery Medalist Applegate's graceful novel contrasts powerfully with the prejudice it confronts.

Synopsis
A special edition for adults of Katherine Applegate's New York Times -bestselling novel about an oak tree and a crow who help their neighbors embrace their differences. Trees can't 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 Red's branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood. When a new family moves in, not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experience as a wishtree is more important than ever. With a message of inclusion for dreamers and welcomers, this is a book for our lives and times. "A beautifully written, morally bracing story that will leave its imprint on a reader of any age." -- The New York Times Book Review, A special edition for adults of the New York Times -bestselling novel about an oak tree and a crow who help their neighbors embrace their differences.
