About this ebook
Andy and Terry live in a 26-story treehouse. (It used to be 13 stories, but they've expanded.) It has a bumper car rink, a skate ramp, an antigravity chamber, an ice cream parlor with 78 flavors, and the Maze of Doom—a maze so complicated that nobody who has gone in has ever come out again. Well, not yet, anyway.
This time, the two friends have a whole week to finish their next book, and Andy even knows what it should be about—the story of how he and Terry first met. But, life is NEVER boring in the treehouse, and emergency shark operations, giant storms, and wooden pirate heads are just the beginning….
This title has Common Core connections.

64 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5i recommend it...
it's really fun to read and it is good for children - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5picture-heavy chapter books (for kids who apparently won't pick up a book if there are too many words in it). I easily blew through 60 pages but didn't find the content all that funny or interesting. It may do better with an audience of kids (who have more active imaginations than I) and I can probably recommend it easily enough to readers who are looking for a quick read (Griffiths books practically sell themselves, with titles like _The Day My Butt Went Psycho_. It is a hefty 343 pages so beginning chapter book readers will really feel like they've accomplished something.

The 26-Story Treehouse - Andy Griffiths
CHAPTER 1
THE 26-STORY TREEHOUSE
Hi, my name is Andy.
This is my friend Terry.
We live in a tree.
Well, when I say tree,
I mean treehouse. And when I say treehouse,
I don’t just mean any old treehouse—I mean a 26-story treehouse! (It used to be a 13-story treehouse, but we’ve added another 13 stories.)
So, what are you waiting for?
Come on up!
We’ve added a bumper car rink,
a skate ramp (with a crocodile-pit hazard),
a mud-fighting arena,
an antigravity chamber,
an ice-skating pond (with real, live ice-skating penguins),
a recording studio,
a mechanical bull called Kevin,
an ATM (that’s an Automatic Tattoo Machine, in case you didn’t know),
an ice-cream parlor with seventy-eight flavors, run by an ice cream-serving robot called Edward Scooperhands,
and the Maze of Doom—a maze so complicated that nobody who has gone in has ever come out again.
As well as being our home, the treehouse is also where we make books together. I write the words and Terry draws the pictures.
As you can see, we’ve been doing this for quite a while now.
Sure, Terry can be a bit annoying at times …
but mostly, we get on pretty well.
