It is a wrap for fans of the Treehouse books, a madcap kids’ series by Australian author-illustrator duo Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton, as the finale The 169-Storey Treehouse hits bookstores.
The 13-Storey Treehouse came out in 2011. Its sequels, out every year since then, add 13 new storeys to the treehouse each time.
Volume 13, or 169 storeys, is as high as it will go. “After 13 epically mind-bending, eyeball-exploding, treehouse-themed adventures, we figure our namesakes have earned a little rest and recreation,” says Griffiths.
Wait, but not before the books’ main characters Andy, Terry and Jill face three major challenges, he teases. That includes meeting their evil twins Anti-Andy, Terrible Terry and Junkyard Jill.
