Nate Chapman has changed schools every year since he was six. Finally, his parents have promised him four years of high school in one place. He’s ready to settle into a routine and stop being the new kid. But for Nate, his first year in high school will be anything but relaxing. One night just a few months after moving, Nate is awakened by a brilliant light coming through his window. When his eyes adjust, he sees it’s all coming from a dead tree in the middle of the back yard. Even more surprising than a dead tree giving off light is a dead tree producing apples. And these aren’t ordinary fruit. No, like a genie lamp of old these come with a surprise. Nate is forced to learn how the apples work, and struggles with wanting to keep them all for himself. And when a classmate brags “those are quite some apples you have there,” Nate must fight the temptation of getting everything he ever wanted, all with just one bite of an apple.
