Young buddies Andy and Terry live together in the sort of tree house that kids dream about, complete with bowling alley, shark tank, vines to swing from, and underground laboratory." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "Boys in particular will like the burping contests, gross creatures, and ridiculous choices that Terry and Andy make throughout the book. "Longtime collaborators Griffiths and Denton ( Killer Koalas from Outer Space ) get metafictional in their latest book (first published in Australia), and the result is anarchic absurdity at its best. "Fans of Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Lincoln Peirce's Big Nate series will be drawn to this book, while parents will enjoy the absence of snarky humor." - School Library Journal And guess what? It makes for good tree house reading." - Booklist "A series starter that will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey. Best of all, Terry and Andy leave readers with a blueprint for a 39-story sequel." - Publishers Weekly, starred review Praise for The 13-Story Treehouse : Kids should be flipping pages faster than a pair of inflatable underpants can skyrocket the young heroes to safety (it's also an important plot point). Griffiths and Denton follow the uproarious The 13-Story Treehouse with another cartoon-laden carnival of slapstick and self-referential humor-this time, with pirates.Whether it's Jill and her menagerie of animals stacked precariously on a tiny iceberg or a giant, smelly fish head orbiting the Earth (it's an important plot point), Denton's furiously scrawled line drawings milk the silly, gross-out gags for everything they're worth. "Twice the treehouse, twice the fun? You bet. Can the 52-story model be far behind?" - Booklist Big Nose, the publisher, is impatient for more. "This zany sequel, as much cartoon illustration as text, is an almost nonstop adventure involving self-inflating underpants, fish with bad breath, sharks with zippered bellies, 78 flavors of ice cream, and several disasters, before its explosive finish. "Wildly humorous without being smart-alecky or sarcastic, this is a top choice for middle-grade readers." - School Library Journal ![]() Publishers Weekly, starred review Boys in particular will like the burping contests, gross creatures, and ridiculous choices that Terry and Andy make throughout the book.
