Advance Praise
“Disorienting, weirdly wise, indescribably transparent, impossibly recognizable. Fun, too.” - Joy Williams
“Powered in part by longing and a need to make odd associations add up, this very appealing novel emplys jellybeans and gypsies, tree forts and rafts, and a character known as El Hondero to trace the odd conjuring that this narrator brings us in on. A memorable debut.” - Amy Hempel
“A Key to Treehouse Living is a beautiful book that treats language, family, childhood, and storytelling as flexible, luminous, dangerous things. William Tyce is a narrator as compelling as Mark Haddon's Christopher John Francis Boone and Jonathan Safran Foer's Oskar Schell.” - Gavriel Savit

A mesmerizing tale told in an nontraditional manner. Who knew that reading a glossary list could tug at your heartstrings making you laugh and moan in pain? Part of me wishes the ending were a bit neater and well tied. I want to know that things worked out for this boy I became so invested in. The ending certainly pointed in that direction, but was no mean decisive. On the other hand, it felt very real, and when do any of us get a neatly tied conclusion to our struggles? An intriguing and haunting story.
Thanks to NetGalley and Tin House Books for making an advance reading copy available for an honest review. (less)

I loved, loved, loved this book. Writing about subjects alphabetically allows the reader a unique way of getting to know William Tyce, one of the most engaging protagonists to come along in years. A KEY TO TREEHOUSE LIVING is a short book, which makes it perfect to give to reluctant readers. It would be an especially good choice for high schoolers.
