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. But wait! Anti-Andy, Terrible Terry and Junkyard Jill from the doppelgänger mirror are up to no good! And given his young fans often need their books read to them, in a way he is writing for adults too. “Writing a book that a kid can’t read makes almost no sense to me. If I can entertain everyone – well, that’s the best of all worlds.”

There are lots of laughs at every level in The 169-Storey Treehouse, the last book in the worldwide bestselling Treehouse series by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. While this might be the end of the Treehouse, it’s certainly not the end for Griffiths and Denton. I can’t wait to see where their wild imaginations take us next… However, Andy is still upset with how he and Terry haven't got their book done, but Terry suggests that they write what happened that day. They write the events up and with the help of Jill in a Santa-like sleigh, get their book to Mr Big Nose for it to be published.
