Riassunto

Erica loves to dream beneath her Dreaming Tree, a cherry tree at the end of the road where she lives. But one day in spring when her tree is in its full glory, she discovers that it has to be chopped down so that the road can be widened.

Erica leaps into action, persuading her family and friends to get together a petition during the summer holidays to save the tree. But summer turns into autumn, and there is no response to the petition.

Then one cold winter morning, the workmen turn up to chop down the tree. But Erica’s efforts have not been in vain – her Dreaming Tree is transported to her very own front garden.

Informazioni sull?autore

Alan Brown was born in London, but has spent most of his life in the wild countryside of the North of England. He started writing only when his two children had grown up. His books, he says, are "a way of keeping their childhood and mine alive in my mind.”

Dalla quarta di copertina

'My friends tease me for being a dreamer, because I am always thinking about wild places far away. But I know that dreams sometimes do come true.'

Erica's favourite place for dreaming is beneath the cherry tree at the end of her street. When she learns it is going to be chopped down, Erica determines to save the tree… and her dreams.

An imaginative girl triumphs over the realities of urban life in this uplifting story.
