sneakishfrogLooking for a YA/teen book I read in the mid 1990s. It may have been set in the 60s or 70s. I can remember fragments:
- the main character was a girl who lived in a large, odd house with several relatives - grandparents, an uncle, an itinerant mom (or maybe she just imagined her mother at times?). A house full of art. Some member of her family is a writer.
- she became part of a book club, or some kind of group at school that was made up of other somewhat odd kids — maybe a writing club?
- they decided to meet up at the treehouse in the girl’s backyard, maybe?
- but one kid used leg braces, and they had to figure out a way for him to access the treehouse. I think there’s a conflict at one point where someone mocks the kid with leg braces, or maybe he struggles to read, but has to prove his intellect in other ways?
