Skeleton Tree by Kim Ventrella is about a 12 year old boy named Stanly. He was experiencing an average day in his backyard until he found a white plant sticking out of the dirt in the garden. At least he thought it was a plant. This white plant looked like the tip of a finger. He struggles to keep the bone a secret from his parents and especially his 7 year old sister, Miren. Stanly was wondering if he found a real human body or a new species of vegetation. The cover of the book was vibrant and had many things to say. I loved the way each and every character was described. Each moment in the book was described thoroughly. I enjoyed every second of it. The beginning started out strong and the ending touched my heart. I’d recommend this book to any young reader who enjoys a story full of happiness with a hint of sadness.
