Wishtree by Katherine Applegate is a great story.
It reminded me of the old sayings 'If walls could talk' and ' I'd like to be a fly on their ceiling'.
I won't write a synopsis because there is already one on the book and there is always plenty of reviews with summaries available. I'll just jump right to what the writing style is like.
This story is very well written. There are interesting facts sprinkled within the text but it doesn't read like a educational book. The facts are stated in a manner that it seems like the author is explaining part of the story to the reader. This technique is also used for some words that might be difficult for young readers.
If all my children's school books were written like this I'd have a much easier time getting them to do their homework.
The story was very easy for me to read. I can easily see any of my older children reading this story, and loving it. My younger child is just 8 months old, not reading yet, but I will definitely put this book somewhere special, and read it to her when she gets a little older. (It's to good to take the chance that she might rip the pages now.) My older children are 10,12,and 14. Girl, boy, girl, and I believe they would all love the story.
This is a story for all ages.
