When Julian Carter-Li becomes ill, he is sent by his school to the office of his wealthy, bullying uncle with whom he lives. There he sees email from a Robin Elder degrading the man for being a moron and world class jerk, and he quickly becomes fascinated with this spirited person. Drawn to both the forest and Robin's, his new friends, family, Julian embarks on a campaign to save the trees, and the children take up residence in the Elder family's tree house. With his friend Danny and Robin, he faces down his uncle to save the forest. Fast paced and full of fun, the story captures the excitement and satisfaction of defeating a large corporation. The resolution reminds readers that everyone, no matter how large or small, can take action on issues that are important to them.–Chris Shoemaker, New York Public Library
The author knows how to put the reader in the story. I hope that you are enjoying your "trip" to the Redwood Forest.
ReplyDeleteI so want to read the book all night long but I have to go to bed. What I really like about this book is that there's no telling what will happen next!!
ReplyDeleteI finished the book last night...you are right Emma...I wanted to keep reading! I am so happy with the way it turned out (not spoiling here) - especially since parts of the story left me so sad and frustrated. I can't wait to get together and talk about it! Carla
ReplyDeleteWe're loving the book! Julian just got picked up from Huckleberry Ranch by his mean Aunt. We hope he gets back to Robin and the Redwoods. We hope we didn't spoil too much!

This was my favorite book yet. It was great. I think it would be cool to stay in a tree house to fight for something I beleve in. I admire the kids in this story and I think it had a perfect ending.
