The Family Tree by Mal Peet

4.0

A heartbreaking and beautiful story made all the more unforgettable with masterful storytelling. The authors shows instead of tells, and says so much in so little.

Sometimes, it is the things that are unsaid which leave the biggest impact and sometimes we don't always see what's right in front of us.

Despite being a simple children's story, this book discusses several difficult themes such a divorce, escapism and letting go. It should be required reading.
