Here's yet another Sonderbooks Stand-out from my Newbery year! Champion: The Comeback Tale of the American Chestnut Tree, by Sally M. Walker, was #8 in Longer Children's Nonfiction and tells the story of how scientists may be able to bring back the American Chestnut tree, which people thought had died off.
Happy Reading!
