Trezane Shackleford (Tree) is Avanelle's older brother and Delrita's love interest. Like Avanelle, Tree moves to Tangle Nook when their father is sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. His family lives in a tiny house next to McDonald's, where they survive on government assistance, a position that earns them a lot of mockery. Unlike Avanelle, Tree is straightforward with his friends about his family's past, which earns him a bit of respect, and admiration from shy teenagers like Delrita who would never dream of being so upfront.
