Katherine Applegate

Opis

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.

Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighbourhood wishtree - people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches. When a new family moves to the neighbourhood, not everyone is welcoming. A story of tolerance and kindness.

Recenzje

'Wishtree is bountiful in every way one can imagine. Beautiful language. Extraordinary storytelling. Gently rendered characters. Everyone should read this book (and all of Applegate's other books, quite frankly!). There aren't many authors that make you feel like you're a better person for having read them' R.J. Palacio, author of Wonder, White Bird and Pony
