(3) YA Six-foot, three-and-a-half-inch tall Tree adjusts to his parents' divorce, gets to know outspoken eighth-grader Sophie, and helps his grandfather recover from the amputation of his leg--a delayed consequence of being wounded in Vietnam. Bauer's choppy prose matches the fragmentary quality of the plot, which jumps from event to event but is held together by strong characterizations.
