Andy Griffiths is Terry's best mate. He is also
Australia's number one children's author! His books, including his
popular Treehouse series, have been hugely successful
internationally, winning awards and becoming bestsellers in the UK
and the USA as well as in his homeland, Australia. The fourth
Treehouse book, The 52-Storey Treehouse, won the Australian Book
Industry Awards Book of the Year prize, the first children's book
to ever do so. Andy thrives on having an audience: he has worked as
a high-school teacher, been the lead singer in a rock band and a
stand-up comedian. He is a passionate advocate for literacy, has
two daughters and lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Terry Denton is Andy's best mate. He is also a bestselling
and award-winning writer and illustrator based in Melbourne,
Australia. Among other things, he worked on the Horrible Science
series for Scholastic UK. He lives by the beach with his wife and
three kids.
The 13-Storey Treehouse won the Sainsburys Children's Book Award in
2015, the Lancashire Fantastic Book Award in 2016, as well as the
2016 Coventry Inspiration Award.
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*
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... 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. A sequel
was published last year in Australia and can't arrive soon
enough.
*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*
