The Olive Tree by Elsa Marston
2.0

Assigned reading for MLIS 7421: Multicultural Youth Literature.

When a boy's neighbors return home after having been sent away due to threat of war, a fight ensues between the respective households' children over who the olive tree on the property's dividing line belongs to. This was a cute enough book, but had a particularly weak story.
