The 26-Storey Treehouse

November 21, 2013 by Jaime Leave a Comment

THE 26-STOREY TREEHOUSE
By: Andy Griffiths, Terry Denton (Illustrator)
Publication Date: September 12, 2012
The 26-Storey Treehouse


If you’re like most readers, you’re probably wondering just how Andy and Terry met. Well, it’s a long story, but a pretty exciting one, and it’s mostly true! Come on up, choose a hammock, and they’ll tell you all about it (just don’t go in the maze they’re still ironing out a few bugs…). 
For everyone who loved The 13-Storey Treehouse and is willing and ready to climb even higher with more crazy adventures from the bestselling Australian children’s author.

Over the past 15 years Andy’s books have been New York Times bestsellers, won over 50 children’s choice awards, been adapted as a television cartoon series and sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
Andy is best known as the author of the much-loved Just! series and The Day My Bum Went Psycho. In 2008 Andy became the first Australian author to win six children’s choice awards in one year for Just Shocking!, smashing his previous record of 4 awards for The Bad Book in 2005.
In 2008 Andy and his wife Jill collaborated with The Bell Shakespeare Company on the popular and critically acclaimed theatrical production Just Macbeth! which was nominated for two Helpmann Awards.

Jake’s Thoughts
I really liked the cover and it matched the story.  I like it because it had action, because it had a rhyme, and because it had sharks.  It had different stories too.  The 26 story treehouse is where Andy and Terry live and they write books together.  Andy writes the words and Terry draws the pictures.  The treehouse has a maze of doom, an ice skating rink, a pool, and shark tank. 

Jill’s story
Jill is Andy and Terry’s neighbor.  Her mom and dad won’t let Jill have pets.  They went on a ship because they wanted to have some fun with Jill’s mom and dad’s friends.  When they were on a ship it crashed into an iceberg and was destroyed.  After, Jill’s mom and dad were eaten by Gorgonzilla because he found them and he was really hungry.  While she was on the iceberg, Jill found a bunch of animals.  She kept them all as pets and now she has animals like flying cats, goldfish, a horse, and a camel.  When she found Andy and Terry’s treehouse, they helped Jill find a place to live and she built her house.     

I liked the end of the book because when the rhymes were done there was only one pirate left and it was Captainwoodenhead.  He got lost in the maze of doom but he found his way out.

I would recommend this book to my friends because it is awesome and the drawings are cool.
