Tom, Natty and Emily have all sorts of adventures in their treehouse, from spying on enemy soldiers and slaying dragons to catching a real-life burglar. From the author of Swamp Angel, this is an "affectionate trio of stories about three siblings growing up on a Pennsylvania farm in the 1880s". ( "Kirkus Reviews" ) "Combine[s] the homespun details found in Laura Ingalls Wilder's work, the storytelling of Bill Brittain, and the child's-eye view of Ann Cameron's 'Julian' tales". — "School Library Journal"
