About the Book

Rowanna's stern caretaker has warned her again and again not to go near the trees that surround their seaside cottage. But Rowanna is drawn to the forest-especially the High Willow on its faraway hill. Are the trees really forest ghouls, as Mellwyn says? Or could they possibly hold the secret to Rowanna's past and the mother she can hardly remember? If only she could get near the High Willow, Rowanna feels certain she would understand. . . . With its timeless forest setting and charming, whimsical characters, Tree Girl is a perfect introduction to fantasy for young middle-grade readers.

About the Author :
T.A. Barron is the award-winning author of fantasy novels such as The Lost Years of Merlin epic--soon to be a major motion picture. He serves on a variety of environmental and educational boards including The Nature Conservancy and The Land and Water Fund of the Rockies, and is the founder of a national award for heroic children. Following a life-changing decision to leave a successful business career to write full-time in 1990, Barron has written seventeen books, but is happiest when on the mountain trails with his wife, Currie, and their five children.

Review :
"Barron is a wonderful storyteller, a maker of myths and fables who creates magical places where characters learn wisdom and power."--School Library Journal "Tree Girl will surely delight its readers. As in all T.A. Barron books, there is a great deal of wisdom and humor -- and an unforgettable hero."-- Madeleine L'Engle Newbery Winner, A Wrinkle in Time "Barron portrays [characters]... with subtlety and originality... [Readers] will respond to underlying themes of self-reliance, rebellion, and the search for self-knowledge."--Booklist "Behind Tree Girl is the author's bone deep belief in the holiness of our earth and the children and trees on it. I wish there were a thousand T.A. Barrons out there."--Rosemary Wells, Author of Mary on Horseback "Tree Girl is sprightly, magical, and wise. The story is one to enjoy and to ponder, a breath of the forest--a delight."--Barbara Helen Berger, Author of Grandfather Twilight "In Tree Girl, T.A. Barron has created a fantasy with the poignancy and the lyricism of the best tales of Hans Christian Andersen."--Barbara Kiefer, Author of Children's Literature in the Elementary School, 6th and 7th Editions "Weaves elements of environmentalism, folklore, and personal discovery into a story that is brief but completely engrossing."--BabyCenter.com "I read Tree Girl aloud to my entire family (my youngest is a 2nd grader). They were entranced. The only time I heard anything from them was when I paused to take a drink. The cry was, 'Keep going!'"--BookReview.com "I found Tree Girl very touching. It speaks to the mystery that every child has within."--William Howarth, Professor of English Literature, Princeton University "T. A. Barron is a wonderful find for young readers for this reason: He tells interesting stories without dumbing them down."--Boulder Daily Camera Barron is a wonderful storyteller, a maker of myths and fables who creates magical places where characters learn wisdom and power.
