(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Chris Buzelli. An ominous construction cone appears on the lot boasting Orange Street's last orange tree. The neighborhood kids, confronted with "gruesome" plans for the tree, take action. The story is nicely paced; as the day-and-a-half passes, details about the neighborhood emerge organically. Rocklin touches lightly on issues including dementia and ecology. Mainly, though, it's a story about standing up for what's right.
