Sarah Samantha wishes she were brave, but she isn't. She makes a secret bargain with her brave Uncle Romeo. Part of the bargain has to do with an apple tree. Who would ever guess it would be so hard--and so scarey--to guard an apple tree? First published in 1947, illustrated by Wayne Blickenstaff.
I remember ordering this book from Scholastic Books when I was a young girl attending grammar school. I remember reading this book, and for many years, it was on my bookshelf in my bedroom. Those books have all disappeared. I bought this book at a thrift store.

This book was left in the Little Free Library. It was released for the "The" release challenge.
