Ryan T. Higgins, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of We Don't Eat Our Classmates and the Mother Bruce series, delivers a contemporary tale of friendship that hilariously explores what happens when we let jealousy get the best of us.

Norman is a porcupine. Mildred is a tree. Norman and Mildred are best friends. Just the two of them. And only the two of them.

When another tree pops up (surprise!), Norman wrestles with feelings of jealousy as he watches Mildred and the other tree grow closer. Will Norman and Mildred's friendship survive?
