Book review: The 78-Storey Treehouse

The-78-storey-treehouse-reviewed-by-a-kid.jpgTitle: The 78-Storey Treehouse

Author: Andy Griffiths

Illustrator: Terry Denton

Publisher: Pan Macmillan Australia

About the book: Andy and Terry are back at it again in their ‘spectacular 78-storey treehouse’. They’ve added 13 new levels, including an all-ball sports stadium, a combining machine, a high-security potato chip storage facility and an open-air movie theatre.

When a big-shot Hollywood director decides to make a movie without Andy in it, trouble inevitably results.

What I thought: I thought that this was a good, light read. I’ve read all of the Treehouse series and this one does not fail to live up to the Andy Griffiths/Terry Denton humour, although I have to say that the illustrations are my favourite part of the books (sorry Andy!).

Fans will love the new book, and new readers will probably be begging to read the other five books in the Treehouse series. I recommend this book for ages 7+.

Book Boy

I’m a 15-year-old Aussie boy who loves to read. My favourite books include ‘Jasper Jones’, ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ and ‘The Lord Of The Rings’.

My website contains reviews of books from junior fiction to YA novels and, now, adult reads as well. I only review books I like. My brother writes younger reviews for Book Boy as Book Boy Jr.

My book reviews have appeared in The Sunday Telegraph, and on sites such as Children’s Books Daily, Creative Kids Tales and Inside A Dog.

I am a former member of the #LoveOzYA committee (2018).
