The 65-Story Treehouse | Andy Griffiths
post image
Mehso-so

So far my least favorite book in this series. The entire book is Terry and Andy and an inspector time traveling way back in time and then in the future. Not a lot of the treehouse in this book nor their neighbor or all the animals. Hopefully the next one will be better.

So happy the next book came out in the series! This time our fearless kittens find a staff of knowledge. However, the orbs on the staff disappear into the real world and now the cats have to find the orbs before all the magic seeps through to the real world! Love the illustrations and of course the story is super cute! Ending is left wide open for book number 5! Yay!

The story continues and I'm loving every page of it! This time around it's Terry's birthday but Andy doesn't know it. However, his birthday plans are put on hold when they find Mr. Big Nose has been kidnapped by vegetables! The adventure continues with the boys trying to save Mr. Big Nose. Funny, great illustrations and I love to see the new 13 story additions to the tree house.

I really really tried and wanted to like this book but I couldn't read anymore. I made it to page 138 and was done with it. I liked Deke's first book about vampires so I was excited to read this one. The story is about a werewolf boy who is trying to save his family from a mean neighbor who wants their wolf sanctuary closed. There were a few reasons why I couldn't finish it.

Rest of the review in the comments.

booklover3258 I really didn't like the main character and just how his demeanor was towards his family. I didn't realize until writing this review that there was a Hebrew dictionary in the back of the book because trying to understand the Hebrew language while reading it was too much for me. Lastly, the story was just going nowhere for me, it was just going around in circles with nothing to look forward to reading. 4w

As I am still sick, I will continue with written reviews. I did not even get halfway through this book. I was so excited to get this ARC since I love Chuck D. The illustrations in it are interesting. He talks about meeting other famous people and the role they played when he met them. The reason why I couldn't read all of it was the book format. Review continued in comments.

booklover3258 It's paperback and the writing continues from the 1st page to the 2nd in the margins and it's super hard to read since some of the words are in the middle of the book. I would literally have to tear out the pages in order to fully read the words. Hopefully when the book comes out next year, this will be fixed and I can read and enjoy it. 1mo

Ah these books are just a breath of fresh air and so light. The third volume centers on the extra 13 stories in the treehouse, the machine that will write a book for them and some weird guy called the uninventor. Chaos ensues and things get thrown out of whack but in the end it all comes together and everyone is happy. Illustrations are cute and love the story.

Still sick as a dog so written review again. This graphic novel tells the tale of how Victor (later known as Mr. Freeze) meets Nora and starts a blooming relationship. Only one thing that's wrong, Nora has a deadly illness and Victor doesn't know about it. I love the illustrations throughout and the story line is good. I would love to see a another book like this where it shows how Victor becomes Mr. Freeze.

Since I'm too sick to do my Vlog, here is my review: This series is wonderful and I absolutely adored the second volume! Planchette is still working to get out the ghosts in her house, Babs and Sun are working things out in faerie land and there's even a wedding! Great story and wonderful cute illustrations.

Continuing with this great series, the treehouse increased by 13 more stories. The sharks are not feeling well and the boys recount their stories how they met each other and of course the neighbor as well. Love the pirates and just everything about this book.
