I highly recommend this book it’s pure magic! Tree Magic book one is a fresh different entertaining page turner. MERISTEM “What’s meristem? ” asked Rainbow? “It’s one of the plant tissues that trees are made from” he said. “Meristem cells divide and from new cells. Primary meristem is what makes trees get taller and their roots go deeper.” I adored reading the story of Tree Magic by Harriet Springbett as it was very original. I know Harriett Springbett has a second book coming out Tree Slayer and a third book Tree Sacrifice. I can’t wait to get hold of the next two books to read more of an exciting adventures. I warmed to the four year-old Rainbow who sees her mum standing by a big oak tree with her arms around a tree. I love tree houses and Rainbow had a tree house, to Rainbow it was the smartest tree house in the world. I was fascinated by the Tree Magic theme. Rainbow pressed her hands on the tree feeling heat, she pressed her cheek against the trunk, concentrating on the bark under her palms, she could sense the sap flowing beneath them. The tree was really alive. It was breathing and had a heart that was beating. The story is delightful, Rainbow Linnet had magic hands, specially for trees, she has discovered that she has a gift for healing trees. Having magic hands and power is something that Rainbow wants to keep a secret she doesn’t want to tell anyone. Rainbow’s dad who died had been her everything that Bob wasn’t . With tomatoes to sell she calls at the Dunken House and strikes up a friendship with a man Michael Jallet who lives in the house. Little does Rainbow know but there is a connection between Michael and Rainbow. Rainbow’s mother and Bob don’t have jobs they are musicians, doing gigs. One of my favourite imaginable stories, with so many exciting things that happen it kept my appetite for the love of reading right up to the last page. To say too many things that happen I think it would be shameful to do a spoiler. I recommend this book so much, as this is a beautiful story about Rainbow and her mother and Bob, with other interesting characters that fulfill this fascinating story. The author Harriet Springbett has a fabulous imagination that I have to congratulate her paying her a tremendous five stars due to the incredible writing style of this unusual exciting theme.
