Remember the view from atop a tree? You could survey the landscape like a monarch, escape your parents'' watchful eye, and let your imagination run wild. Well, just because you''ve grown up, it doesn''t mean you can''t enjoy the sense of liberation a tree provides. Here is the most comprehensive guide ever to building your own castle in the air, be it a simple child''s playhouse or an adult''s cozy retreat with all the modern conveniences, including electricty. Peter Nelson, the nation''s foremost authority on treehouses, tells you everything you need to know about designing and building the house that''s right for you and your family. He gives you information on site selection (why some trees provide better homes than others), safety issues, tree care, advice on styles and materials, and other essential rules of thumb that will save time and money.Nelson walks you through the construction of four actual projects: a children''s playhouse, a vacation home, an office, and a full-time residence. Whether you''d like to build your children a safe and fun place to play and dream, or you''re contemplating your own retreat from the drudgeries of earthbound living, this practical, wildly fanciful guide will show you how to make your tree fantasies come true.

Milo Prieto''s odd life begins with an equally odd twist: being adopted at birth by asylum-seeking Cuban musicians and growing up in an experimental housing project in the North Bronx. He''s white, his parents black, but he fits in even as he sticks out. He even shows early promise on the drums of his father. But an accident spells the end of everything. By 17 he finds himself abandoned and incarcerated. He wants nothing more than to die. To disappear. To become as invisible as he feels. And then out of nowhere he gets a second chance. Sprung from "juvi" via a program for promising teens who''ve slipped off the rails, Milo heads from New York City to Maine and beyond on a journey with more missteps than he could have imagined. Desperate to grow up, but unsure how, his plan is to escape into the unknown. But no matter how far he runs his past seems to be one step ahead and waiting - waiting, quite possibly, with the answers he needs to move on.
Everything Turns Invisible is a story about identity, separation, the power of music, of loss, and of finding second chances in the most unexpected places.
