Gelezen door Jonas (9 jaar); helemaal verdiept in dit boek in bus/tram/metro, en daardoor een aantal keer bijna vergeten uit te stappen bij de halte

De waanzinnige boomhut van 169 verdiepingen – Andy Griffiths & Terry Denton
Andy en Terry bouwen voor de laatste keer dertien nieuwe verdiepingen!
Er is nu een elektrische-ponystal, een LAWAAIverdieping en een gekkokamer in de waanzinnige boomhut.
De vrienden worden achternagezeten door een leerplichtambtenaar. Kunnen ze die ontwijken, ondertussen hun lastige dubbelgangers uit de spiegelhal verslaan én hun boek op tijd afwerken?
Dus waar wacht je op? Kom naar boven!
In dertien boeken hebben alle jonge en oudere lezers de boomhut zien groeien tot de waanzinnige boomhut van nu maar liefst 169 verdiepingen! En wat een feest was dat! Maar met dit boek zijn dan toch echt de laatste verdiepingen gebouwd en moeten we met een weemoedige zucht en een glimlach van nostalgie afscheid gaan nemen.
Want ook in dit laatste boek beleven Andy en Terry samen met Jill weer talloze hilarische avonturen en met de daarbij behorende komische illustraties is het dus echt weer genieten geblazen van de eerste tot en met de laatste bladzijde!
De beginnende lezer vanaf ongeveer 7 jaar zal deze grappige serie dan ook zeker weten te waarderen, maar ook voor de oudere lezers is het smullen. En zelfs de kinderen die uit zichzelf niet snel een boek zullen pakken laten zich beslist verleiden door de humor en de talloze illustraties.

I’ve been in love with this series ever since it came out, it’s been 13 years now, i can’t wait for the next one, they are always so good and always have an interesting plot twist that you aren’t expecting but are expecting at the same time
August 20, 2024
That was a bittersweet read. It was sweet bc of all the cameos from all the previous books, but bitter bc it was the last one! It had a satisfying ending though. I liked that the authors had a final book and didn’t drag it on.
SPOILERS and book notes:
The 13th and last book! Cool new levels: Whatever-weather-you-want dome. A kangaroo-riding range. They brought up something from ever previous book! “Man eating mermaids, headless pirates, ruthless un-inventors, angry vegetables, malfunctioning time machines, mooooovie idea stealing spy cows, working whirlpools (babysitting me big nose kids), giant feet, angry story police (dot story), giant flying eyeballs, hideous hobyas (camping), and evil snowmen, oh and giant gorilla.” Someone comes to force the kids to go to school! Bahah so they are running from him. Terry reminds me of my mom playing the game Bang for her power. Andy wrote a sign to remind Terry to close the door to the weather dome. Then he wrote a sign to remind him to read the first sign. Then he wrote a third sign to remind him to read the second sign. The dopplegangers!!! it’s like their evil twins! Anti-A, Terrible-T, and Junkyard J. "Some people look at things the way they are and say 'Why? But I dream of things that never were and say Why not?” They go to school, accidentally wreck it with monkeys from the monkey house, then build another 13 story treehouse school. Then at the end they build Jill a cottage for the 169th floor! So she can live with them!! The ending had me and Trey sobbing: “"It's so nice to see you all again," says Jill. "T've missed you."
"Hee-haw!" says Hee-Haw.
"You're right about that," says fill.
"What did he say?" says Terry.
"He said there's no place like home," says jill.
"Exactly!" says Terry. "And there's no home like a treehouse." Then they did a zoom out ending when their treehouse got smaller and smaller. And the earth did too. Yeah that hit us in the feels. We will miss this series.

This series holds a special place in my heart. From the day my young reluctant reader (now in the army 😂) came out of his room holding The 13-Storey Treehouse, asking “Mummy, do we have the next book?” — our whole set of books has been read many times over by the younger kids in the extended family.
And this 13th book is the LAST ONE in the series, which is why I just had to acquire this swansong title.
Andy and Terry have added yet another 13-storeys to their treehouse, making it a whopping 169 levels of awesome 🥳 This time, Terry leaves the door to the Whatever-Weather-You-Want dome open, and creates a once-in-a-millennium meteorological disaster!
They have to employ their 🥔 potato-powered translator to transmit a message to all treehouse residents and aliens alike, to come help Terry push! Push the door close!
But wait! Anti-Andy, Terrible Terry and Junkyard Jill from the doppelgänger mirror are up to no good!
Oh! And Andy and Terry need to get home to finish writing and drawing this book! I loved how they then take us to producing this book within a book, and then a bit of a wistful good bye.😭
This series is engaging, age-appropriate, and so outrageously fun it has spawned so many books like it. I highly recommend if you have young readers just starting to read, but it’s also a good comfort read for more confident readers.

„169- piętrowy domek na drzewie”, jest dość wyjątkowy, bo w tej o to książce zyskuje kolejne piętra ( co więcej systematycznie się rozbudowuje dzięki czemu mamy już kilka poprzednich części). Piętra domku są niemożliwe do ogarnięcia : piętro potworów –to z cała pewnością omijamy, translator różnojęzykowy ( w tym zwierzęcy, warzywny, mineralny itp xD) ujeżdżalnię kangurów, domek z piernika ( ale mieszka tam miła starsza pani 🙂 )
Tak więc mieszkanie w domku jest już samą w sobie przygodą i nie da się tam nudzić, jednak w tej historii pojawia się Pan Wagarowicz i okazuje się, że chłopcy i ich koleżanka Jill nie uczęszczali do prawdziwej szkoły... jak łatwo sie domyślić ten stan rzeczy szybko został zmieniony szkoła hymm przetrwała pobyt dzieciaków, a Terry i Andy skończyli pisać swoją książkę ( czyli tak właściwie właśnie tą publikacje )
Historia składa się z absurdalnie niemożliwych zdarzeń i wypadków.
Znakomita lekka i letnia historia dla młodszych nastolatków.
Książeczka jest bardzo ciekawie stworzona, ponieważ tuż obok tekstu jest mnóstwo rysunków, także takich z dymkami dialogowymi. Ilustracje są bogate w szczegóły, a cześć elementów jest podpisana i objaśniona jak np. „zasilanie marchewkowego domu”.

Opnieuw een deel in deze populaire serie boeken! Met de laatste 13 verdiepingen heeft de boomhut er onderhand 169!! Natuurlijk valt er dan veel te zien en te ontdekken, dus geen spoilers in deze recensie. Op deze na, want het nieuwste avontuur start met het open laten staan van de deur van de WELK-WEER-JE-MAAR-WILT-koepel! Waarmee er van alles misgaat en de vrienden ineens oog in oog staan met meneer Spijbel, de leerplichtambtenaar. En of ze willen of niet, ze gaan voor het eerst naar school. Hilariteit ten top! Ook krijgen ze in dit boek te maken met een wel heel bijzonder drietal, dat tevoorschijn komt uit een magische spiegel. Al met al genoeg inspiratie voor een waanzinnig verhaal!
Fijn aan de boomhutboeken is dat ze lekker vlot lezen en werkelijk bol staan van humor. Zowel in de tekst als in de tekeningen. Jonge (en oudere) lezers raken niet uitgekeken. Het feit dat het volkomen onvoorspelbaar is maakt het een verrassende pageturner. Het is geen boek om voor te lezen, maar zeker wel geschikt om samen te lezen.

Graphic Novel
They've expanded again and this time readers see even more unusual levels including a hall of mirrors that unleashes further chaos. The doppelganger mirror creates three anti-characters who wreak havoc and leave Andy, Terry and Jill to be trapped by the truant officer and taken to school. The disruptions continue until all six work together to reconstruct the school and return life to normal - or as normal as it gets in this series. Middle grade readers will be thrilled with the latest in the series.

I like this series. I've been reading for a while now, and though it took me a while to actually buy and read this one, I enjoyed it. I found the doppelgangers interesting, and I hate school as much as the next person so it was nice that they ended up not going at all. I'm just hoping that in the future there isn't any romance between Jill and Andy. Idk, this seems too serious of a review for a kid's book. Oh well.

I love this series and I have SO many great memories about it. This tom was threadbare, story was just okey, normal story. This isn’t what’s I enjoy around it.
I had a really weird feeling during reading, that smth is wrong with illustrations, they looked like someone draw them in two minutes and he doesn’t care how it’ll look.
Not all for sure they are incredibly as always but definitely not all.

I liked that they had doppelgangers, even though they were mean at first 🤨
The fun house mirror was a fun part of the book too.
I liked the zoom out ending, it's really cool and they've never done it before!!

Tja, wat kan er misgaan met een boek van de waanzinnige boomhut? Inderdaad niks! Vond deze een van de leukere van de serie en het gaat erover dat Andy, terry en Jill voor het eerst naar school moeten van de leerplichtambtenaar…
June 3, 2024
I think I may be done with the series. This one felt like they were running out of ideas and the humor felt forced in places. They are still fun books and kids will still love them. I just think I have run my course with them.
October 17, 2024
It's not the strongest book of the treehouse series, but it's still a nice, fun read. My nine year old daughter enjoyed reading it with me, and anything that gets children interested in reading is good.
February 26, 2025
"I recommend this book because it is really funny and it has a complicated story line. It is a book enjoyed by millions of children around the world, so it must be good! It also has funny parts including monkies invading a strict school. LOL"

Treehouse #13
Thirteenth and apparently final book in the series feels tired and perhaps it is time to wrap it up.
Still wacky and crazy, but notably shorter and not as vibrant as other books in the series.

This book was fun in some places, but can be tiring to read in others. Some parts feel a bit overkill, but I did find myself having a bit of a laugh in certain parts of the book.

It was sooo nice! I loved it so much and I really liked them. Since this was the last book of the series it was kind of sad🥲 but I enjoyed every book they had!💖

As good as other sequels in this series.

Hun boeken blijven leuk. In de andere boeken zat er meer variatie in, dat viel me hier een beetje tegen.

This book was good. I didn’t like it as much as the previous books
