    About this ebook

    The 143-Storey Treehouse is the eleventh book of Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton's wacky treehouse adventures, where the laugh-out-loud story is told through a combination of text and fantastic comic book-style illustrations.

    'The kind of book I would have loved as a kid' – Tom Fletcher, author of The Danger Gang

    Andy and Terry have added thirteen new levels to their treehouse!

    There's a word-o-matic (it knows every word in the whole world!), a recycling depot, a wrecking ball, a deep, dark cave with a real live, fire-breathing dragon, a complaining room, a spooky graveyard (where it's always midnight, even in the middle of the day) and a camping ground where you can have a nice, relaxing camping holiday. But it turns out to be not quite as relaxing as Terry originally planned . . .

    Terry forgets to pack the tent and the food, their attempt at fishing ends in disaster, the spooky campfire stories are a little too spooky and then, to make matters worse, all of Andy’s fellow campers start mysteriously disappearing! Can Andy brave the dark, dark woods and rescue them in time to finish writing their next book?

    Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up!

    Climb more fun-filled levels by collecting all thirteen books in the seven million-copy-selling series – the perfect chapter books for reluctant readers.

      The 143-Storey Treehouse - Andy Griffiths

      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 143-storey treehouse. (It used to be a 130-storey treehouse, but we’ve added another 13 storeys.)

      So what are you waiting for?

      Come on up!

      We’ve got a word-o-matic (it knows every word in the whole world!),

      ‘Yes
