Joe Beth and Frannie have a visitor called Connie. Joe tells her all about the Faraway Tree but she doesn't believe him. That's why she's not a very nice girl. She doesn't believe that people live there. At the end of the book the Faraway Tree dries out. How can they save the tree? Discover a magical new world with Moon-Face, Saucepan Man and Silky the fairy.

I like the bit when they save the tree. I like it because something bad happens and then some thing bad happens. I dislike it because Connie didn't believe in the Faraway Tree. Out of five stars I would give it four.
