  • 本書介紹
十歲的Winnie面臨自己的父母親離異，他們把所有東西清楚的分一半一半，包括Winnie的時間，三天跟爸爸，三天跟媽媽，剩下的一天誰也不讓誰，於是創造了一間樹屋，每個星期三Winnie就自己住在那裡。父母的分開以及彼此對Winnie的競爭，已經大大的影響了Winnie的生活，甚至讓她學業卡關。但彼此競爭的父母聽不下孩子的心聲與願望，因此Winni與朋友攜手展開一場對抗大人的戰爭。這是一本連大人都讀得津津有味的書，即使議題沉重，但仍以幽默的筆調寫出；每個孩子都有各自古怪的地方，穿插在每個書頁間。孩子的聲音該如何讓大人聽到呢？這本書給我們一個精彩的示範。

Winnie's last day of fourth grade ended with a pretty life-changing surprise. That was the day Winnie’s parents got divorced and decided that Winnie would live three days a week with each of them and spend Wednesdays by herself in a treehouse between their houses, to divide her time perfectly evenly. It was the day Winnie’s seed of frustration with her parents was planted, a seed that grew until it felt like it was as big as a tree itself.

By the end of fifth grade, Winnie decides that the only way to change things is to barricade herself in her treehouse until her parents come to their senses—and her friends decide to join. It’s kids vs. grown-ups, and no one wants to back down first. But with ten kids in one treehouse, all with their own demands, things get pretty complicated! Even if they are having the most epic slumber party ever.

In the newest novel by beloved National Book Award finalist Lisa Graff, kids turn the tables on their parents, and all the rules are tossed out the window. But does Winnie have what it takes to hold her ground and keep everyone happy?

This story, with a pitch-perfect middle grade voice and a zany yet poignant situation, is perfect for fans of Sharon Creech, Louis Sachar, and Jack Gantos.
