Jonathan Bartholomew | 2 comments in the 80s i was in middle school. i generally read above my age group. it was a novel, and about high schoolers getting inducted into a secret society. the metric for admission was years previous the students all adopted a tree and named it. students whose tree name had seven letters were admitted. main character used seven letters. his best friend had called his 'Rex.' I'm 41 years old and have been searching for this book name for 30 years please help me.
