The 130-Storey Treehouse (The Treehouse Books)

Treehouse #10

by Andy Griffiths

New York Times-bestselling team Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton invite readers to come hang out with them in their 130-Story Treehouse--the tenth book in the illustrated chapter book series filled with Andy and Terry's signature slapstick humor!

Andy and Terry live in a 130-story treehouse. Or, at least they WILL live in a 130-story treehouse once they finish building all 13 new levels!

The upgrades to the treehouse are still under construction and therefore super-duper top secret, but The 130-Story Treehouse is sure to be the zaniest adventure yet.

*thank you to Netgalley, Pan Macmillan Australia, Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*


4 stars.


Such a great series. These books are so much fun to read and while it is a rather large book for children, it really isn't a bad thing at all because by the end, you are still wanting more!

If you haven't read any of these yet, you should because they really are so well written and the illustrations just add more pleasure to it. Plus, you are sure to get a few giggles out of it. Definitely recommend.

I'm only here because I've been reading these since the start and I am NOT a QUITTER. I mean sure, I was 7 when the first book came out, and sure now I'm just questioning everything, but it's still a fun bit of nostalgia and something to indulge my inner child with. Despite this, the treehouse books never fail to evoke some sense of humour.
But I would definitely recommend this to actual children.

This book is amazing. It help children to start reading and it encourages people to read books. It mostly is for people who don't like reading but it help to start reading. It is so funny, sometimes it is rude funny but whoever gets this book you will love it

It’s about this crazy treehouse this tree with 130 levels like small circles that have fun stuff the main tree trunk has a elevator that takes a long time because it’s very thin string but strong like silk string but thinner the elevator cart is as big as a story building but it’s made of steel and titanium the cart it’s just OP (over powered), so as Andy the author was looking through a telescope he saw a fly, a annoying fly, so he tried swatting it, supper swatting it super bug spraying it and cannon launching it didn’t die so Terry the other guy came and lazar eyed it but now everything was on fire but the fly then the fire emergency people came (911) and sprayed the water out then they got caught in a globe then when to go fight in a “intergalactic death battle” and then the ice cream parlor guy made hot ice cream and threw it at the “things” that brought them there and they went back to earth because of rocket boosters but they found a “shape shifting blob” and turned to a sun umbrella when they were reaching another sun then they went to “Blobdromeda” to see the blobs family or save them but then the bog toad spited out the blob and there was all the blobs and the shape shifting one because the annoying fly came so the fly was a hero from then on the treehouse would always go to the “Blobdromeda” and go to earth ever once in a while.

Aardig kinderboek, deel 10 van de Treehouse serie. In ieder deel komen er 13 verdiepingen bij, vol met fantastische zaken. Andy schrijft de teksten en Terry maakt de fantasierijke tekeningen, die kinderen vast kunnen waarderen. Er is een hinderlijke vlieg, een reis door de ruimte om die vlieg kwijt te raken, een ontmoeting met een blob, uit het land Blobdromeda, vol met heerlijke blubber… grappig bedacht.

[Simon Sweetman · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hurtled through this - the 10th in the series - because I'd read the previous nine with Oscar. Now I'm on my own as he's reading them all by himself; this was the first to appear in print since he'd taken to re-reading them all. Good fun, this series. Great fun. Stupid-as in the best possible way.

[Matthew · Rating 3 out of 5]

my favourite part of the book was when they got abducted by aliens and they had to fight in a intergalactic space battle fight to death and the best species would have won and Terry,andy and jill and that was the best part of the story. I would recommend this book to someone that likes to read funny and intersting books.

[Ashley Schmuhl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for any kid who enjoys Captain Underpants. Same idea two kids (one the author the other is the illustrator) write a book. Humor that had me laughing a couple times. I read it to my own kids hoping to hook the boy and the girl couldn’t wait to check out the next in the series.

عین همه‌ی کتابای این مجموعه، چیزی جز مسخره بازی توش نبود.
ولی نسبت به جلدای قبلی، محتواش... مزخرفتر بود. موضوعش زیاد جالب نبود ولی حداقل یکم خندیدیم:)
البته قصد توهین ندارم، خیلی جالبه که چقدر طرفدار دارن اینا؛) جالب بید.

5.0 Great fun all around. Elementary aged 2-4 graders we’re laughing out loud… and so was I! This was my first book (#10th in the series) and we can’t wait to start from the beginning and read them all.

You think I would get sick of these books, but they just keep getting better and better. This book represents how I feel about flies EXACTLY. Haha they are so annoying. This is a series where my 5yo son begs me to keep reading. I like that the books are each so unique and creative but follow the same predictable pattern. So they are simultaneously surprising and mind blowingly creative as well as predictable. Each book is uniquely predictable. An oxymoron. The characters are so lovable too. The pictures are perfect. I like that the book experience is equal parts pictures and words.

SPOILERS and book notes:
They have a cool bookstore level!! And a toilet paper factory and they made terrys out of concrete and me and Trey were dying. There is an annoying fly on every page. That buzzes around. SO RELATABLE. Andy finally discovers it and has enough so he first tries swatting it, then super-swatting it, super-spraying it, and blasting it with a fly cannon. And the fly evades everything. Again so relatable. Then later the tree house is on fire they tried to put it out with buckets but Terry has a hole in his and says “Andy there is a hole in my bucket!” And Andy says: “then fix it!” Then they both start singing the hole in my bucket song and we were DYING of laughter. Flying eyeball aliens kidnapped them and their tree. Seriously my nightmare. And they helped the blob aliens from a giant frog. And they thought it was the flys distraction that saved them so they want the fly to stay. I love the long legs level that helped them get the hook to Mr big nose in time. “So, that's the story of how we got abducted by a giant flying eyeball from outer space, fought in an intergalactic death battle, saved all the blobs on Blobdromeda from the belly of a mud-sucking bog toad, and got rid of the most annoying fly on Earth. Thanks for reading, have fun, and don't forget to keep your eyes on the skies, because you never know what-or who-might be out there!”

Andy and Terry are two friends who live in a treehouse. They have built all sorts of wacky additions over the past few books starting with The 13-Story Treehouse. They just finished building 13 more stories to their 117-Story Treehouse, when Andy, Terry, and their neighbor, Jill, get abducted by a giant floating eyeball alien. They now have to fight in an intergalactic death battle and there’s nothing the gang can do about it.

This book is a riot! It is packed full of action and laughs with laser eyes and annoying flies. I love the new blob characters and the bog-toad character Andy Griffiths has introduced. My children love this series and can’t get enough of it. Reluctant readers who feel bogged down by wordy novels will be captivated by the treehouse series with all the wacky and hilarious illustrations. Anyone who has read and enjoyed this series will delight in all of Andy and Terry’s crazy shenanigans. I can’t wait to read about Andy, Terry and Jill’s next zany adventure in the

Well this is a new one for me as a retired middle school history teacher/coach I haven’t read many books for ages 6-10. I was worried that this might not be a pleasant chore, but I was oh so wrong. This the story of Andy , Terry(author and illustrator names) and Jill and their adventures while living in a 230- story treehouse. I’ll try not to spoil it for you but it ranges from trying to kill an annoying fly to being captured by a flying eyeball and taken to Eyeballia to fight in an intergalactic death battle. It even takes a trip to Blobdromeda where we have a surprise hero for the story. I was amazed at how well written these stories are and don’t let me leave out illustrated. Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton make a perfect team. Their creative minds are amazing!!!!

[Sheila · Rating 3 out of 5]

A graphic novel for 8-12 year olds. Terry and Andy along with Jill end up in space in an intergalactic fight for eyeballs' entertainment. They also make a promise to one of the combatants who saved them to help save his planet.

I think I needed to read the other 9 books for this to make a lot of sense. I understood it but it would have helped to know how they got to 130 stories in their treehouse. Also there are characters that it would have helped to know where they fit in instead of them just popping up--like the penguins. 8-12 year olds would enjoy the zaniness of this story (and probably the series.) As an adult it didn't live up to expectations.

[Lucas Mason · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book is about a massive eye coming and getting there treehouse and taking them to a different dimension where they have to fight other creatures from different places in the galaxy. Then they escape and they find this mud blob and all of its people dead and he needs help to get them back and then Andy, Terry and Jill got all the mud blobs back. My favourite part of the story is when Terry nearly burns down the treehouse with his laser eyes. Terry because he does silly stuff all the time and they nearly die because of terry. Never eat a mud pie that a frog eats to make sure he doesn't kill your people.

Cheers Lucas

"The book is about Andy, Terry and Jill entering a competition where you fight until you are the last one standing. When they saw how dreadful it was they put the bubbles to the maximum and the eyeballs were exploding faster than ever. some how they are alive again and start chasing the treehouse but they did not know that they had a blob with them. they had found out about the blob and then they were heading straight to the sun and then then the blob made a sun shield but then dried then were turned into ashes and then buried him in his home planet. they when to there own planet by a blob slingshot and somehow made the book and got it in time."

I read Melanie the 10th edition of the Treehouse Series over the past 4 nights, three chapters per night. I found this the least enjoyable edition of Treehouse absurdism, but Melanie says she liked it more than the last one and demanded I give it at least two stars. Reading to much into it Evan could not find much value in this one. Melanie said that the Bog Toad was similar to an Indigenous Australian Myth where the Toad sucks up all the water, and the people have to make him laugh to get the water out. Could the 10th edition be the last?

[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun read for kids who love silliness! It has lots of cartoonish illustrations, but there are some paragraphs in there you may have to help with. I would have loved this book as a kid and laughed out loud at the silly predicaments as an adult. It has good comedic timing with just the right amount of repetition. I recommend this for all but the most serious children. I bet all of the other books in this series are equally fun. I'm having trouble deciding which child will be lucky enough to receive this from me.

I received this book in a goodreads giveaway.

[Nadra Hagen - Krook · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zag dit boek al eerder voorbij komen, maar nu uitgekozen om de kids voor te lezen.
En wat een goede keuze! Het boek is onderdeel van de serie van de waanzinnige boomhut, waarin er in elk boek weer 13 verdiepingen bij gezet worden.
Was lang geleden dat de kids tevreden waren met de boeken, maar nu was het raak.
De kids vonden het boek helemaal geweldig. Leuke verhaallijn met dan ook veel humor. En dan de plaatjes ter illustratie maakte het helemaal compleet.
Kortom de kids hebben ervan genoten, de verwachting is wel dat we de serie uit gaan lezen

[Indy · Rating 5 out of 5]

The treehouse books are always very fun to read, and I am amazed by the authors' imagination and creativity. I also love the illustrations, particularly the cute penguins which seem to have their own characters. This time, it's a story about how Andy, Terry and Jill got abducted by a giant flying eyeball from outer space, fought in an intergalactic death battle, saved all the blobs on Blobdromeda from the belly of a mud-sucking bog toad and got rid of the most annoying fly on Earth.

[Judy Wollin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book made me laugh.
The story centres on three children who ended up in outer space. The story is peppered with humour, some of it reminiscent of Monty Python. That made me laugh. I'm sure the humour would not be lost on children whose grandparents liked Monty Python.
The humour, numerous illustrations, ridiculousness, and light-heartedness make for an easy and entertaining read for grandparents and children alike.

[Stacey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Once again the Treehouse delivers a book full of fun and laughter. I enjoyed reading this to my children. The treehouse just keeps growing, now with 130 storeys...I love the addition of the time wasting level.
A book that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages, whether you have read the other treehouse books or not.
