Great for anyone who remembers middle school or who is middle school age. :) ~L<br /><br />P.S. We will be putting up an interview with the author within a few weeks!

Punch. I really like the combo of roller derby, secret messages in trees, and the middle school transition. I'm liking this older sister who gives her advice already!Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-70980130436412509692013-03-08T14:36:36.637-05:002013-03-08T14:36:36.637-05:00Claudine- That must have been hard going to a diff...Claudine- That must have been hard going to a different school from all of your friends. I think The Secret Tree is a book that people can connect to because of the friendship theme.

I can also relate to the changes in friendship as you grow up. I remember playing almost exclusively with a kid because he lived in my neighborhood. As I grew up and could go across town, we kind of drifted apart, but he is in most of my early memories. Thanks for a great post and for sharing this book.<br /><br />Paul R. HewlettPaul R.
