Andy and Terry are once again inviting readers to come hang out with them in their astonishing 39-story treehouse (it used to be 13 stories, then 26 stories, but they keep expanding). And this year they will have even more time to jump on the world's highest trampoline, toast marshmallows in an active volcano, swim in the chocolate waterfall, pet baby dinosaurs, and go head-to-trunk with the Trunkinator, since Terry has created the greatest invention that he―or anyone else―has ever invented . . . a Once-upon-a-time machine that will write and illustrate their entire book for them!

Join New York Times-bestselling author Andy Griffiths and illustrator Terry Denton on another wild storytelling adventure in a series Publishers Weekly described as "Anarchic absurdity at its best." Welcome to The 39-Story Treehouse...What are you waiting for? Come on up!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Create a massive, magical treehouse with every possible amusement ... Then add two creative and attention-challenged boys who live in the treehouse and can't seem to get their work done. It's a recipe for reading fun--whipped up masterfully by author Andy Griffiths and illustrator Terry Denton." - Bookpage

From the Inside Flap

Praise for The 26-Story Treehouse:

Wildly humorous without being smart-alecky or sarcastic, this is a top choice for middle-grade readers. --School Library Journal

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. Mr. Big Nose, the publisher, is impatient for more. Can the 52-story model be far behind? --Booklist

Twice the treehouse, twice the fun? You bet. 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. 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). 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:

A series starter that will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey . . . A treat for all . . . And guess what? It makes for good tree house reading. --Booklist

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

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. 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. And as if killer mermaids are not enough, there are sea monkeys. And a giant gorilla. And a giant banana. And the return of the catnary. See? Silly, ridiculous fun. Kids will love it. --Kris Sauer, Children's Literature

I received this book I was going to give it as a gift to my son. A little annoyed because the cover came ripped with a hole in it yet I need to take the time to go return it at a drop off center rather than be reimbursed without doing that. I am attaching a picture…otherwise I heard this series was really good and I was looking forward to gifting it

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for my 7 year old...

This entire series is fantastic - 13 Story, 26 Story, 39 Story- and now my son is clamoring since I showed him on Amazon that there IS a 52 Story TreeHouse book that is coming out here this spring... he is dying for this thing... I get asked every week - "when, when, when... will it come"...

Great job with this - I've read through some of it and it's silly, I like the wording and I believe it's helped hook my boy who has been tough to pin down on reading - it's helped hook him into enjoying stories. He would take the time to read this to my 5 year old daughter who would sit and laugh... they loved this!!! Seemed like each book got a little bigger too - we have the entire series (13, 26, and 39 Story Treehouse books).

Thank you very much and we look forward to more of what you write!!!

Regards,
Joe.

My daughter loves this series. The author came to her school to talk with the kids. He is a HOOT and such a nice guy, he was so great with the kids and had them all cracking up. The books are creative and fun to read. These are the first books that my daughter just can't put down or get enough of. I love to hear her giggling to herself in her room when she reads these books. I highly recommend the series. As the author says, you don't have to read them in order which is great.

I have an 11 year old son who is a very reluctant reader. I am constantly on a mission to find something he will read. This is probably the first chapter book he has completed in a year and I didn't even have to nag him to do it. I immediately bought another one from the series when I saw that it was in winner. He likes all of the crazy treehouse rooms and the dumb stuff the kids do in it. He often would come point out and read a passage to me that made him laugh out loud and of course it made me roll my eyes but I was happy to see it had his attention.

I bought books 1-6 for my 9 year old nephew. He had read book 10 at school and loved it. He was excited that he was able to read these pretty quick (3 days) and was able to move up in his reading level at school when tested. He loved books 1-6, so now I’m ordering him the rest of the series. I’m happy with this purchase and would recommend them to others.
