5 stars from my kid, 1 star from me.
It's an extremely addictive series for primary school kids, and I owe to it that fact that my kid really got into reading. Finding that book which your four year old would want to listen to for 2 hours straight is a tough job. This was the one for us, followed by the whole series up to 130-storey.
But... well... it's ridiculous. There is no real story, there are no teaching moments, there are silly jokes, it's just annoying to be perfectly honest. First read-through was mildly entertaining, but by the time we started our 10th I was contemplating tearing my eyes out... And it's by far not the only book we read 10 times, no... most others I tolerate and some I even enjoy.
In any case, there is no harm in it to get your little one interested in getting lost in a book. But be sure to mildly navigate into a more sane territory after the novelty of it wears off a bit.

Andy and Terry live in a 13-storey treehouse.
They've also got a new book to write, but there's a problem. A BIG problem. Well, quite a few big problems actually....
On a hill not too far away there is a tree. And in that tree there is a tree house. And in that tree house there is a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a tank full of sharks, a giant rope swing, a library full of comics, a secret underground laboratory, a vegetable vaporiser and a free marshmallow-dispensing machine that follows you around and automatically shoots marshmallows into your mouth whenever you are hungry.

Very disjointed to read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2019Verified Purchase
This book is very silly & reads like it was written by a kid with adhd! My daughter quite enjoys it & finds it funny which I guess is the main point but I just find it so disjointed I have no pleasure in reading it to her. I know the point of the story is about 2 guys with rubbish attention span & so the flow of the story reflects that but the story stops & starts so many times I can't concentrate on reading it & it's hard to follow, especially with all the random writing all over the pictures - I had to suggest this is one she reads to herself!

Slightly Bonkers Mum
5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply Brilliant!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2018Verified Purchase
This highly entertaining 'laugh out loud' book is pitched just perfectly for a middle-aged (slightly bonkers) mum, never mind a 7 year old little boy! It is so well worth the money which is always a risk when buying books online. My boy and I are having lots of fun reading it out aloud, and my son enjoys vocalising all the conversations with enthusiasm and expression. The illustrations just add yet another dimension to the thoroughly enjoyable text and it has clinched the deal to get him into independent reading. The use of language is also up to date in today's society to which he relates to, and is age-appropriate. A stroke of genius if I may say so Mr Griffiths! and we will be looking forward to the next book in the series.

Had my daughter in fits of giggles!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2019Verified Purchase
I read this book to my daughter, age 7, over the course of 3 nights. She absolutely loved it and it had her in fits of uncontrollable giggles on several occasions. It obviously tapped into her sense of humour (Although I'd like to think some of it was down to my comic timing when delivering the lines...) She loved the extra activities at the back of the book too.

Brilliant
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2022Verified Purchase
This book is very funny and my daughter, who is a very reluctant reader, now actually wants to read and keeps asking to read another page because she wants to know what happens next. Yes it's a bit silly but by the end of the day it's for children, not the grown ups. Total win for us and will be buying more of this series.
