Description: "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
