Later, the duo began to work on their book, but Terry was too sad to concentrate. Andy then gets Terry popcorn and lemonade to cheer him up. Terry additionally got himself bubblegum. He burps a bubble which he had trap himself. Terry floats away and Andy does a golf swing which successfully saved him. This series holds a special place in my heart. From the day my young reluctant reader (now in the army 😂) came out of his room holding The 13-Storey Treehouse, asking “Mummy, do we have the next book?” — our whole set of books has been read many times over by the younger kids in the extended family. This series is engaging, age-appropriate, and so outrageously fun it has spawned so many books like it. I highly recommend if you have young readers just starting to read, but it’s also a good comfort read for more confident readers.

At the start of the second paragraph, Mr Big Nose will call Andy and Terry to tell them the deadline of their next book as pointed out in The 39-storey Treehouse. Griffiths, Andy; Denton, Terry (illustrator) (2013). The 13-story treehouse. Feiwel and Friends. ISBN 9781250026903. LCCN 2013404222. Andy and Terry have added yet another 13-storeys to their treehouse, making it a whopping 169 levels of awesome 🥳 This time, Terry leaves the door to the Whatever-Weather-You-Want dome open, and creates a once-in-a-millennium meteorological disaster! Oh! And Andy and Terry need to get home to finish writing and drawing this book! I loved how they then take us to producing this book within a book, and then a bit of a wistful good bye.😭

Andy and Terry have added thirteen new levels and built their biggest and most astonishing treehouse yet! It has everything they - and you - could wish for including: an electric pony stable, a NOISY level, a weather dome (where you can have whatever weather you want whenever you want it), and an 100% edible gingerbread house and a potato-powered translation transmitter that allows you to talk to everything everywhere all at the same time. This fantastic series finale really showcases Griffiths and Denton at their finest. Griffiths’ text is hilarious, Denton’s illustrations are exuberant, and the whole storyline is wonderfully, characteristically unhinged. Some of the objects in Griffiths’ office. What he finds and what he is gifted is 50-50: ‘Once you get a reputation for this, people start looking for you.’ Photograph: Ellen Smith/The Guardian And this 13th book is the LAST ONE in the series, which is why I just had to acquire this swansong title. The book begins with the narrator and fictional depiction of the author, Andy Griffiths, giving an introduction to himself, his friend and illustrator Terry Denton, and their treehouse.

Initially, I wondered if I would get ever ‘serious’, but I’m incapable of it,” he sighs, smiling. “I wanted to be a serious writer and yet I can only write nonsense – but jeez, everyone seems to like it!” The book has spawned a series of sequels, each of them adding 13 stories to the treehouse and other humour fiction:They have to employ their 🥔 potato-powered translator to transmit a message to all treehouse residents and aliens alike, to come help Terry push! Push the door close!
