Mean Machines & Mad Professors! (The Treehouse Books)

Our school library had saved this newest addition to the series for one of our biggest fans as soon as it came in and was processed, and he finished it in one school day around his assignments! HIGH praise! It has a LONG list of students who want it next! With school budget cuts, we very seldom purchase more than one copy of library books, but we have of this series. Our eager young readers LOVE it!

“A bumper car rink, a skate ramp (with a crocodile-pit hazard), a mud-fighting arena, an anti-gravity chamber, an ice-skating pond (with real, live, ice-skating penguins), a recording studio, a mechanical bull named Kevin, an ATM (that’s an automatic tattoo machine, in case you didn’t know), an ice cream shop with 78 flavors served by an ice cream-serving robot called Edward Scooperhands, and the maze of doom - a maze so complicated that nobody who has ever gone in has ever come out” - these are some things you will encounter if you read the book The 26-Story Treehouse by Andy Griffiths, illustrated by Terry Denton.

In this book, Andy and Terry are two friends who create books together. They live in a 26-story treehouse. They flash back about how they met. They have many adventures such as operating on a shark, getting attacked by pirates, and getting shot out of the blow hole of a fish!!! But they also are trying to write a book - this very book that we are reading!!! Will they finish the book, or will they get caught up in all of their adventures? Read the book to find out. I recommend this book for people who like humorous books and think that amazing 26-story treehouses are cool.

I really like this book. One reason I like the book is because it’s very humorous. One time it was funny was when the pirates were riding on the mechanical bull named Kevin. Another reason I like the book is because it has a lot of adventures in it, for example when someone gets shot out of the blowhole of a fish!!! To me that sounds fun in fantasy, but in real life I think I would probably get majorly injured. I also like the book because I can relate to Andy and Terry since I have a friend who I like to make books with. Once again, I really enjoyed The 26 Story Treehouse and I really recommend reading it. It’s a great book!

My grandson Hunter is Eight and only this year has he started to read on his own.
He has read the book before this and the latest Treehouse book,OVER and OVER,
he gave a presentation at school and said how pleased he was with the story by Andy Griffiths
and the drawings by Terry Denton.
Thank you all.

My daughter loves this series. The author came to her school to talk with the kids. He is a HOOT and such a nice guy, he was so great with the kids and had them all cracking up. The books are creative and fun to read. These are the first books that my daughter just can't put down or get enough of. I love to hear her giggling to herself in her room when she reads these books. I highly recommend the series. As the author says, you don't have to read them in order which is great.
