wish tree by Katherine Applegate is one of the best books i've read this year. i love how all the characters are loving, and kind to the wish tree, and the ending is one of favorite parts of the story, and how protective bongo is to red. my favorite characters are red, samar, and bongo. the sad part is when they start to want to cut red down. but just remeber its just a fairy tale anything can happen. because i didnt expect what happend in the story would happen. i love this book because how nice, sweet, and lovely this book is. i love how samar starts to like it there, and make friends, and how all the animals stand up for the wish tree. i recomend everyone to read this book because of all the kind, sweet and loyal characters. and thanks to the writer i have read another great and nice book this year.
