Venturing outside in the snow can be a cool, fun, and exciting experience, but what does one do when stumbling upon something magical? Who would ever think that a live, talking, but friendly tree could be living right in your very own backyard? 

This is exactly what happens to a little boy named Franticheck. Playing outside in the snow with his kitten is a common thing for this eleven-year-old, but encountering a live, talking, but friendly tree is something out of the ordinary. Can this be true? Or is this the works of an eleven-year-old whose imagination has gone wild? For Franticheck, this will be a day like no other- a day full of fun, excitement, and above all, finding friendship.
