Gracie Bradford asked K.K. Allen:

How do you decide on the title of your books? Any magic formula?

K.K. Allen Hi Gracie! It's different for every single book. For example, I was writing a backstory scene in The Descendants and there was a treehouse involved, brothers, and a neighbor girl who would sneak into their treehouse when they weren't around. That scene inspired the title for Up in the Treehouse, and then the story itself :) Since Under the Bleachers is continuing with the theme of Up in the Treehouse, I decided to play with the prepositions in the title, and then weave in the heart of the story, the bleachers. I love when readers want to read the book just to understand why the book was titled a certain way. So I try to have fun with it, but keep my readers guessing until they have that ah-ha moment.
