At six feet three inches tall and growing, twelve-year-old Tree is sometimes expected to act older than his age. This isn’t easy with his two brothers away at college and his parents’ divorce still too new. By helping others-his grandfather Leo, a Vietnam vet who recently had a leg amputated, and Sophie, a new girl who is being teased at school-Tree develops confidence in himself. When a flood threatens the town, Tree plays an important role in the relief effort.
