In a time of windstorms and wildfires, Blue is a huge tree growing in an ancient forest. Blue's best friend is Maisie-Grace, a girl with a terrible, beautiful secret. Not only can Maisie talk to trees, she has dreams and visions that come true, a 'gift' she has to hide from everybody. One day, Maisie dreams of loggers coming to cut down her beloved forest. A series of events propels her from the woods, where she has been homeschooled her entire life, to a middle school she doesn't know. There she makes unlikely friends with JAX, a paraplegic artist, and Macon, an animal-loving farm girl. The three girls venture into the forest where they get to know the trees, and eventually themselves. Can they save the forest from being silenced? Will Maisie-Grace come out of hiding and tell people all that she sees? Will she let them silence her, too?
