Minty and her best friend Paz are roller derby fans. They plan to be in the same roller derby team together but one day Paz starts hanging out with older girls and ignoring Minty. That's when she finds The Secret Tree, a tree that has a ghost in it and if you put your secret in it the ghost will make it dissapear. She also meets Raymond, a boy who also knows about the secret tree and soon they become friends as Minty's world changes.

I picked this book up because it looked interesting and I wanted to read something that was different from what I usually read. When I picked this book up I thought that it was just one of the friendship type of books that I would forget about as soon as I finished it but I was wrong. This book is definitly not like all the other books about friendship and stuff like that. It's really good, especially the ending, and there's something deeper in this book than the usual.

I finished this book because it's really good and after I finished it I kept thinking that the book was really good becuase of how the author wrote the book and how the main characters of the book were really young and that made them innocent and their innocence amde the book good. I can't really explain it but there's just this feeling that this book has more depth in it than other books. It was really funny too. The most funny part for me was when Minty used her sisters makeup to create a picture and the reaction was so funny!

I would recommend this book to Grace because there's a lot of humour in it and I know that she would enjoy the humour.
