Summary:
This book is about a fourth-grade girl named Annie. Annie's grandmother is constantantly protesting something, which embarrasses her.

After Annie's grandmother literally attaches herself to the tree, Annie discovers the history behind the tree. With her new-found knowledge, Annie joins her grandmother in the protest and comes up with a plan to save the tree.
