The kind of book I would have loved as a kid
*Tom Fletcher, author of The Christmasaurus*
With its slapstick humour, brilliant absurdities and some bonus
puzzles to solve at the back of the book, The 13-Storey Treehouse
is the best 'tall story' you'll read this year!
*Lancashire Evening Post*
Aanarchic absurdity at its best . . . Denton's manic cartooning
captures every twist and turn in hilarious detail, as babies are
pelted with garbage, yapping dogs squashed, and monkeys catapulted
into the distance.
*Publishers Weekly*
Full of crazy, funny pictures, which will make you laugh . . .
Extremely enjoyable, very funny and easy to read!
*Guardian.com*
Especially good for reluctant readers as it is heavily illustrated
and VERY funny . . . This really is the coolest treehouse ever!
*Angels & Urchins*
Packed with cartoons and craziness
*Sunday Express*
My son loved the cartoon images, the great imagination and has
since brought the next book in the series.

This book is about friends Andy and a Terry that live in a really
cool 13-storey treehouse, with cool things like a bowling alley,
games room and secret lab.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
I thought that this book was funny because of the flying cats. This
book had lots of animals in it.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
My son absolutely adores this whole series of books. They are
hilariously funny but so imaginative and creative. I've recommended
them to so many people and haven't yet found a child who doesn't
love them. This first book sets the scene with Andy and Terry - the
characters and authors/illustrators - living in a treehouse with 13
stories who are meant to be writing a book but keep getting
distracted by an endless stream of hilarious madness.

Having read The 78-Storey Treehouse and lived it we requested this
from the library.
My son loves these books and studies the illustrations which adorn
every page.
He finds the stories very funny and likes that it has the same
characters (the author and illustrator!!)
Definitely recommend this book - and we are now moving on to
another in the series from the library!
*Toppsta Reviewer*
My son: I like this book because of the funny pictures.
Mum: My son has been reading this aloud to me. Whilst there are
over two hundred pages to this book, a lot of it is taken up with
humorous black and white illustrations.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
It's funny, hugely imaginative and has LOTS of pictures. What child
would not want a treehouse with see-through swimming pool, lemonade
fountain, games room, bowling alley and marshmallow machine?
*Toppsta Reviewer*
I liked this book as it was funny, adventures and most importantly
troublesome.Andy and Terry were hilariously brilliant.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
Brilliant series and if you haven't read them yet why not? Start at
the beginning and work through them all. Laugh out loud funny and I
love reading about all the things they have in their treehouse.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
My son read this book solidly in one day.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
This is silly and fun and a great book to encourage of love of
reading in young children.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
My daughter and i loved this book - a fulfilled adventure about two
writers trying to find inspiration for their next book. The story
follows them through all the mishaps on the way!! Full of
fantastic, crazy illustrations throughout.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
Read to my Year 3 class (30 children, ages 7-8) who all love
Diaries of a Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates. (This book initially reminded
me of these due to the mixture of text and drawings) They really
enjoyed the quirky storyline and bizarre sense of humour running
throughout.
*Toppsta Reviewer*
I read this book easily without any help and my mum has already
ordered The 26-Storey Treehouse!
