Three children become friends when their parents fail to pick them up after school one day in the third grade. It is the day that all third graders received willow cuttings to plant. Tired of waiting, the three girls leave on their own and plant their 3 saplings side by side. As the trees grow so do the friendship of Alma, Jo, and Polly. As the friends begin the summer before high school, each goes her separate way and face challenges to herself, her family, and their friendship. Notable quotes relative to the willow, to life, and to friendship, along with coming of age story, make this an interesting book to read/listen to.
