Winnie’s parents have an unusual plan to keep everything "equal" after their divorce. Winnie will live three days a week with her mom, three days with her dad—and spend Wednesdays all by herself in a treehouse smack in between their houses. But when their attempts at fairness get even more ridiculous, Winnie decides she has no choice but to barricade herself in her treehouse until her parents come to their senses—and her friends decide to join her. It’s kids versus grown-ups, and no one wants to back down first. But with ten kids in one treehouse, all with their own demands, Winnie discovers that things can get complicated.

School Library Journal
“It’s kids vs. parents in epic fashion, and Graff’s not-quite-fantasy world is every kid’s dream. All of the frustrations young people feel with their parents during a divorce are hilariously hyperbolized in a way that will make children feel vindicated and less alone. . . . Graff’s whimsical, original work is a breath of fresh air. A strong addition to any middle grade collection.”
