Description
When an ice storm snaps a small girl's favorite branch from the tree in her yard, she won't let it be hauled away. To her, it wasn't just any branch, "It was my castle, my spy base, my ship ..." Her neighbor Mr. Frank agrees. He says the branch has "potential," and the two get to work transforming what was broken into something whole and new, to be enjoyed again and again.
