The 13-Story Treehouse
Andy and Terry live together in a thirteen-story treehouse where each new level adds something absurd, a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a shark tank for dealing with annoying visitors, a room full of flying cats, a marshmallow-dispensing machine, and a gigantic catapult they have probably not safety-tested. While trying to finish an overdue book for their beleaguered publisher Mr. Big Nose, they are interrupted by a visiting neighbor, a mysterious sea monkey situation, a monkey-and-bananas escalation, and a series of drawings that keep becoming the next chapter. Andy Griffiths writes and Terry Denton illustrates in a tight, comic-strip-heavy slapstick register, and the 2011 series opener launched what became one of Australia's defining middle-grade franchises.
