The Arborist

When eleven-year-old Charlie Roebecker befriends Chief Goodyear, a homeless evacuee from Hurricane Katrina, he is not expecting any miracles.

As Charlie says, "You can do only small things to fix a big problem." Chief Goodyear is an arborist--a fixer of trees. His arrival in Charlie's town starts the boy on a mission to help the homeless stranger get a new start.

As Christmas nears, Charlie's family makes their annual trip to a tree lot. Charlie brings home a scrawny little pine with a crooked trunk and no top--The Puny--which he plans to decorate and give to the Chief.

Charlie's sister calls it "a sick, midget tree puked from the forest." His best friend finds it creepy-looking. But Charlie knows better. He has the imagination to see what the little tree might become. And in the hands of an arborist--who knows what could happen
