I read it my 8th grade year as part of an assignment for the class, so it's an 8th gradeish level book.
The cover is a crooked tree with a small bird. It's black and white - I think, and it looks like a painting.
The story is a girl who really loves her art, but in the year she is stuck with an art teacher who isn't as free minded as she is. They all have to pick a topic out of a hat at the beginning of the year and whatever the item is is what all of their art has to be.
Her's is a tree and she is upset because every piece of art she creates has to be a tree.
I'm so sorry that wasn't a lot of detail. I'm gonna be a sophmore & I read this at the beginning of my 8th grade year, so I'm really forgetting it.
