Northern Maine, 1905. A 12-year old boy, grieving the loss of his mother and neglect by his father, runs away from his home in a small farming community. His destination: a treehouse he has built himself high in a sequoia in a forest. The Tree House is his story of the life he creates for himself. The dangers he faces during his teenage years high up in the tree - snowstorms, hungry bears and more - and the unusual and unexpected friendships he makes as he carves out his future make an unforgettable read.
