Another one wrote LEAVE on Red, since Samar’s house is next to the tree. One of the conflicts is that a girl named Samar is the only Muslim kid in the neighborhood, and she is usually followed home by teasing children. There are two main conflicts in this book. My favorite kind of books have some kind of conflict in them.
Even though people believe, Red doesn’t believe in his ability to make a wish come true. They think it’s crazy that people think a tree can grant wishes and they don’t like when he is covered with socks and other stuff. Some people just want Red to be a regular tree. They wish for things like chocolate spaghetti, or sometimes meaningful things, like for friends not to move away. They put them on socks, rags, and even underwear. Red is a “wishtree.” People every year put their wishes on Red. But … it can’t tell them, because of one rule it has to live by: Trees cannot talk to people, they can only talk to animals. It is 216 years old and has lots of stories to tell. The tree’s friends are animals, and they call it Red. The main character is a really old oak tree. E., our school librarian, recommended it and said this book represents biodiversity because it is about living things like plants and animals and it also has a Muslim character. Wishtree, by Katherine Applegate, is told from the perspective of a tree.
