5th Grader Josh Caldwell is being abused (sexual, mental and physical) by his 26 year old mother's ex-con boyfriend. Josh's Teacher (Ms. Tharp) realizes that something is amiss with him and is doing her best to find out what it is. At the same time, Josh and his friend Stevie (a black boy of similar age who is also being abused) plot to assist one another in killing their abusers. From there things start to unfold quickly and I cannot say more without giving away the plot. At the end of the book you just find yourself wondering why or when will mothers start to tune into, and prioritize their children, so this kind of abuse doesn't continue to exist.

REVIEW:
Josh & Stevie are best friends who are both dealing with sexual abuse from their mother's boyfriends. The trees in the woods serve as a safe haven from their troubles. During one of their meetings they devise a plan to kill their mother's boyfriends. How long can the trees keep their secret?
Never the one to avoid subjects that may be taboo to others, Mr. Smith writes about the subject of sexual abuse. I was prepared to trump the author and figure out the ending, but I can honestly say the ending had me speechless.
Growing up as a child, I had the "Grown Man Talk" drilled in my head so many times I can recite it in my sleep. As a parent I give the "Grown Man Talk" to my children including the boys. There are so many mothers who turned a blind eye to the suspicions of sexual abuse, because they fear being alone. If These Trees Could Talk should serve as an eye-opener for all parents.
I highly recommend this book.

The way this book is written just really made it come to life. I really got to know Josh and Stevie and how much abuse they were going through. I also unfortunately got to know their mothers and their mothers' boyfriends. These were some real sickos. I was really surprised at the ending! It's amazing what the mind will do when there is so much pain and trauma in a child's life.
Brian W. Smith is one of my favorite authors. He is always coming up with books that have important issues raised. All of his books are easy to read and move along so fast, and this book is no exception. Way to go Brian! I highly recommend this book!
