Abstract
Callie’s mother has chained herself to the neighbor’s tree and is living inside the tree house. She refuses to come down until the neighbor, Mr. Wilson, agrees to leave the tree standing. Soon reporters arrive, followed by an activist group called the singing Grannies and a gang of bikers, each group with their own wacky agenda. Callie doesn’t want to deal with any of them, but she needs to get her mother to come down from the tree so that her life can return to normal.
