The REALLY Big Treehouse Boxed Set: (The 13-Story Treehouse; The 26-Story Treehouse; The 39-Story Treehouse)

by Andy Griffiths, Terry Denton (Illustrator)

From New York Times–bestselling author Andy Griffiths, full of zany illustrations and slapstick humor, this paperback boxed set includes the first three books in the hilarious Treehouse chapter book series.

Andy and Terry live in a treehouse. But it's not just any old treehouse, it's the most amazing treehouse in the world!

This treehouse starts with thirteen stories, a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, and a secret underground laboratory. And it keeps getting bigger! Soon the treehouse has twenty-six stories, then thirty-nine as Andy and Terry keep adding more levels and rooms, including a skate ramp, anti-gravity chamber, an active volcano, a chocolate waterfall and more!

This boxed set includes The 13-Story Treehouse, The 26-Story Treehouse, and The 39-Story Treehouse.

The 13-Story Treehouse
"Anarchic absurdity at its best." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey. . . . The wonderfully random slapstick humor is tailor-made for reluctant readers... A treat for all." —Booklist

The 26-Story Treehouse
"Twice the treehouse, twice the fun? You bet . . . Kids should be flipping pages faster than a pair of inflatable underpants can skyrocket the young heroes to safety." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

My 9 yr old daughter loves to read and she giggled on vacation constantly on the first book of this series... she is currently on the 2nd and cant put it down!

Such good books the sea monkey one was the best and the fact that they had a bowling alley in their treehouse was sick as.

[Dylan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I mean, these books are definitely not awful. But they can be cheesy, and, they are a bit repetitive. It's always a different plot, and they are funny, but it's a very quick read, and its a similar reason to Diary of a wimpy kid, there are a lot of pictures. It's still good, but can go by very quickly.

Andy and Terry are idiots. Plain, stupid idiots. They are so stupid. Ridiculously stupid. But, if you are stupid you can relate to their stupid mistakes and mishaps. But it does make for some entertaining plots.

Andy: Andy is the narrator, and as such, he is awful at drawing. He is flawed deeply. He mentions in a book in the series how he had awful parents. They raised someone very stupid. He is dumber than I think is possible, but I'm not sure. He makes mistakes. 2/10 on the normal human review, 10 being normal, 0 being basically a worm.

Terry: Terry is the artist, he draws the pictures, he is the illustrator. He... is very, very dumb. He paints a cat yellow and expects it to fly, which, because this is a very strange set of books, does actually fly. He makes so many mistakes, he has an addiction to burping, but you can't help but root for him. I am lying. You want him to go and get a job, because, honestly, how old are these two? Andy was about to say in one book, but he didn't. 1/10

So, they are either 12 or 21. No idea.

Mr Big nose: According to these books, caused the extinction of dinosaurs, from a prehistoric Dino version of himself. Very normal guy compared to the other two. 5/10.

Jill: Jill is good and bad. Loves dogs, good, loves her cat too much, bad. She is either in love with Andy or Terry, or maybe both. Probably a pyscopath. 7/10

Mermaid/serial killer Sea monkey monster: Most normal one. Likes to eat humans. Gets shrunk massively. 8/10

So, they are cheesy, and there are more characters than these freaks, but anyway. Read if you want to not think about things and want to melt your own brain down to the utter stupidity of Terry.

A great series that has kept our whole family entertained. Miss 5 and Miss 8 can't get enough of these books.

[Eva Greenova · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing book, cannot wait to read the rest.

[William · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series was the first one that i actually tried to finish but I could not find the other books then moved onto longer books.

[Lincoln · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked how in the first and second book Terry washed his underwear (well tried) in the shark tank, but the sharks ate his underwear. In the third book they formed Professor Stupendo and he was a famous "uninventor" He uninvented Earth, the Universe, galaxy - everything except Terry or Andy- all on a dare! He even uninvented himself but kept the "spooncil" so Terry used the "spooncil" to redraw everything he uninvented. Terry forgot to re-draw Jills 12 flying cats and Silky so Andy tried to Silky but he is a terrible artist and created a monster so Terry had to come to the rescue and made him promise to never draw anything again.
