The Tree at the Edge of the Yard

The Tree at the Edge of the Yard

Mara’s favorite place is the old oak tree growing right along her backyard fence . It's the one spot where she can think, dream, and just be herself.

At home, it’s easy to feel invisible, especially when her parents don’t seem to hear what she’s really saying. But when a new neighbor named Quinn shows up on the other side of the fence, the tree becomes more than a hiding place.

This heartfelt middle-grade story explores boundaries, feeling understood, and the small moments that help us find our voice.
