Join New York Times-bestselling author Andy Griffiths on another wild storytelling adventure in the series Publishers Weekly describes as "Anarchic absurdity at its best." This time, come hang out with him and his friend Terry in their 117-Story Treehouse – the ninth book in the illustrated chapter book series filled with Andy and Terry’s signature slapstick humor!
“Mr. Griffiths’ work is both witty and fantastical, with a dark edge not dissimilar to Roald Dahl… The Treehouse books [are making] their way into the lives of a generation of readers.” –The New York Times
Andy and Terry live in a 117-story treehouse. (It used to be a 104-story treehouse, but it just keeps growing!) It now has a pajama-party room, a water-ski park filled with flesh-eating piranhas, an Underpants Museum, a giant-fighting-robot arena, and the Door of Doom (don’t open it or you’ll be COMPLETELY and UTTERLY DOOMED!).
For as long as Andy and Terry have been writing books together, Andy has always been the narrator and Terry has always been the illustrator. But when Terry tries to prove that he can narrate as well as draw, the story goes completely out of control and the Story Police arrive to arrest the whole treehouse team for crimes against storytelling! Andy, Terry and Jill go on the run, but how long can they evade the Story Police and stay out of Story Jail?
Andy Griffiths is one of Australia’s most popular children’s authors. He and illustrator Terry Denton have collaborated on more than 30 bestselling books since their first title, Just Tricking, including the Treehouse series, the JUST! books, Killer Koalas From Outer Space, The Big Fat Cow That Goes Kapow, The Cat on the Mat Is Flat, and The Day My Butt Went Psycho. In Australia Andy and Terry’s books have sold over 10 million copies, won 80 children’s choice awards and 10 Australian Book Industry Awards—including Book of the Year for The 91-Storey Treehouse in 2015. The Treehouse series is now published in more than 35 countries. Five of the books in the series have been adapted for the stage and have all had sell-out seasons at the Sydney Opera house, as well as highly successful seasons in the Netherlands, New Zealand, and America. Andy is a passionate advocate for literacy and in 2015 was awarded the Dromkeen Medal to honor his outstanding contribution to Australian children’s literature. He is also an ambassador for both The Indigenous Literacy and the Pyjama Foundation.
