The Sacred Tree

By R B Orlando

In the summer of 1984, Kyri and his friends are looking forward to the warm, lazy days ahead. But unbeknownst to them, this so-called vacation is going to be quite the adventure.

When a sacred tree gives Kyri visions of the future, he and his friends uncover a plot that will see their beloved forest destroyed to make way for a full-scale development. It's up to the young teenagers-and possibly some magical wolves-to save the town from their crooked mayor and a shady developer. But can just a few people stand up to a big corporation with money and power? Or is this the end of the beautiful forest that's so important to them all?

The Sacred Tree is a coming-of-age story that weaves together Nordic mythology and climate activism to remind us that no matter how small we feel, we can make a difference.
