When a young boy uncovers a talking tree that can magically grant his every wish, he soon begins to encounter the pitfalls of getting everything he asks for. When ten year old Henry Marcus Blunt learns that his sister Beth has been involved in an accident, he asks anyone and anything for help in making her better. When someone finally offers to grant his desperate wish, Henry is completely unprepared: his source of help is a talking tree. The Answer Tree is a magical tree that has the power to make anyone's dreams come true. But no sooner has young Henry realised the magnitude of his discovery, he forgets about his sister's plight, and begins to amass a list of selfish requests, largely motivated by his desire to beat his school rival, Jack Gilhooly, on the sports field. The Answer Tree inspires Henry to believe that he can achieve everything he desires, to become the most brilliant boy at his school. Everyone is amazed by Henry's transformation, as he starts to win every competition in sight, with the greatest of ease. But the shine of success threatens to wane as Henry neglects his friends and family in the pursuit of personal glory. Will he recognise his error before it's too late? Will he learn that success is made all the more sweet if it's shared with the people you love?
