Reviews
"Employing flawlessly simple, candid prose that belies deeper messages, Newbery Medalist Applegate again considers the complex relationship between humans and the natural world. ... Fiercely protective Willodeen is easy to champion, and her belief that "nature knows more than we do" is a message worth sharing." --Publishers Weekly, starred review " Applegate''s gentle yet honest tale mixes magic with very real environmental messaging, both warning of human-caused harm and pointing to nature''s resilience and interconnectedness. ...Applegate empowers her young characters by not only granting them courage but also ensuring they earn the respect of their elders."-- Booklist, starred review "This accessible fantasy offers hope as well as a tender examination of people re-learning to work together to care for one another and the world around them." -- The Horn Book Magazine "An endearing fable that illuminates the importance of recognizing that all living things serve a purpose in our beautifully complex world and are worthy of care and dignity." -- BookPage "Applegate''s latest fantasy is a simple but beautiful story about humans'' relationship with the natural world. ...

The New York Times Book Review "The simplicity of Newbery Medalist Applegate''s graceful novel contrasts powerfully with the prejudice it confronts. Narration comes from Red, an enormous red oak near an elementary school that also serves as a "wishtree" for the neighborhood--once a year, residents deposit wishes in Red''s branches and hollows....Red''s openhearted voice and generosity of spirit bring perspective gained over centuries of observation.-- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Applegate introduces another quiet, resilient protagonist who -- like the caged gorilla in The One and Only Ivan and the working-class boy in Crenshaw -- speaks movingly to a noisy, fractious world . -- The Washington Post " The story''s wit and humor keep it from being heavy-handed, as do vivid portrayals of minor characters, especially Bongo, the sarcastic crow who is Red''s best friend. This is a book made for family sharing and discussion. "- -Raleigh News & Observer "Timely, necessary, and brimming with heart." -- Booklist, starred review "Newbery Award-winning author Applegate meets high expectations in this tale told by a tree named Red, a red oak who is "two hundred and sixteen rings old." ...

This thoughtful read is a top choice for middle graders."-- School Library Journal, starred review "This swiftly moving yet contemplative read is great for early middle grade, reluctant or tentative readers, or precocious younger students.

For Willodeen, who happens to have a flightless hummingbear as a pet, her heart is far more occupied with the welfare of unlovable creatures, namely the widely detested screechers--a grumpy combo of skunk (odor), warthog (snout, tusks), beaver (tail), and porcupine (quills). This is, perhaps, because Willodeen herself is an outsider, preferring to spend her time alone, observing nature and helping the two women--older, but spitfires--who took her in after a terrible wildfire claimed the lives of her family. Two events force Willodeen out of her comfort zone and into the company of other townsfolk: (1) the steady, mysterious decline in hummingbear populations, and (2) the bounty placed on screechers, as a way to rid Perchance of their smelly presence. ... Applegate''s gentle yet honest tale mixes magic with very real environmental messaging, both warning of human-caused harm and pointing to nature''s resilience and interconnectedness. ...Applegate empowers her young characters by not only granting them courage but also ensuring they earn the respect of their elders."-- Booklist, starred review Praise for wishtree: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Synopsis
From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Odder and The One and Only Ivan, Katherine Applegate, a heartfelt story about a girl who risks everything to help an endangered creature., From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Odder and The One and Only Ivan, Katherine Applegate, a heartfelt story about a girl who risks everything to help a handmade creature who comes to life. The earth is old and we are not, and that is all you must remember . . . Eleven-year-old Willodeen adores creatures of all kinds, but her favorites are the most unlovable beasts in the land: strange beasts known as "screechers." The villagers of Perchance call them pests, even monsters, but Willodeen believes the animals serve a vital role in the complicated web of nature. Lately, though, nature has seemed angry indeed. Perchance has been cursed with fires and mudslides, droughts and fevers, and even the annual migration of hummingbears, a source of local pride and income, has dwindled. For as long as anyone can remember, the tiny animals have overwintered in shimmering bubble nests perched atop blue willow trees, drawing tourists from far and wide. This year, however, not a single hummingbear has returned to Perchance, and no one knows why. When a handmade birthday gift brings unexpected magic to Willodeen and her new friend, Connor, she's determined to speak up for the animals she loves, and perhaps even uncover the answer to the mystery of the missing hummingbears. A timely and timeless tale about our fragile earth, and one girl's fierce determination to make a difference., From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Odder and The One and Only Ivan, a heartfelt story about a girl named Willodeen who risks everything to help a magical, endangered creature.
