The book cover of The Singing Tree by Kate Seredy features an illustration of three people, one adult and two children, standing under a large tree with lush green leaves. One of the adults appears to be a man in a long vintage blue coat, and the other is a young boy wearing a red vest and white blouse. A young girl, who has long hair and is dressed in a blue dress, is kneeling on the ground beside a tall, engraved stone monument, gazing at it with curiosity or reflection.

Description

By Kate Seredy
Paperback

A Newbery Honor Book - from the author of The White Stag

Life on the Hungarian plains is changing quickly for Jancsi and his cousin Kate. Father has given Jancsi permission to be in charge of his own herd, and Kate has begun to think about going to dances. Jancsi hardly even recognizes Kate when she appears at Peter and Mari’s wedding wearing nearly as many petticoats as the older girls wear. And Jancsi himself, astride his prized horse, doesn’t seem to Kate to be quite so boyish anymore. Then, when Hungary must send troops to fight in the Great War and Jancsi’s father is called to battle, the two cousins must grow up all the sooner in order to take care of the farm and all the relatives, Russian soldiers, and German war orphans who take refuge there.
