Trees Don't Lie Sylvia Thornton

Jacob is your typical nine-year old boy. To his surprise, his simple life becomes challenged by outside forces beyond his control. It's called living life! Life in a new city, life in a new school and life with a family shaken. Jacob's character is shaped through circumstances. He is forced into a showdown with two bullying school mates who test his will and courage. He must choose between doing what is right and keeping his dignity. The only friend he has is a special tree that he believes is magical. Truly, this tree is magical in a sense it provides Jacob with the strength he needs to get through life's journey.
