Granny Diamond loves the owl-tree, so when her neighbour wants to cut it down, Joe knows he must find out its secret and change Mr Rock's mind. But with only four days to save the tree how is Joe, too timid to even climb it, going to persuade cold, frightening Mr Rock to spare the tree's life? Can the ghostly owl high in the tree's branches help him - or can the tree itself actually speak? Winner of the Smarties Gold Award.
