The 143-Storey Treehouse

Treehouse #11

The upgrades to the treehouse are still under construction and therefore super-duper top secret, but The 143-Story Treehouse is sure to be the zaniest adventure yet.

I loved it because they find magical creatures

[Kaia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This entry in the series was really fun, and a nice change from the last few which felt more formulaic. My son and I especially enjoyed the "word of page" definitions. Lots of laughing while reading.

My 7 year old loved it, just as he has the previous books in the series. He plowed though it pretty quick because he was excited about it.

I loved this book came out on audible 21st October 2021 and was read really well. A great laugh and shows that sometimes the best bit of a holiday is coming back. I loved the spooky elements of it to coincide with Halloween and the mask at the beginning. Well done guys well put together.

This isn’t as good as some of the earlier books in the series, but fans of the series will probably still enjoy it. A fun, quick read that appeals to kids who don’t normally read books, and kids who love books as well.

[Casey Leigh · Rating 5 out of 5]

And the adventure levels up with 13 wonderful stories, two wild imaginations, a collective of friends and associate, and grumpy boss.

[Martyna Fila · Rating 2 out of 5]

Jestem naprawdę zawiedziona. Może jest to spowodowane tym, że oczekiwałam od tej książki niewiadomo czego, aczkolwiek liczyłam na coś o niebo lepszego.

[Audrey · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Daniel Lodge · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5/5

To jest tak komfortowa seria I love it

[Antonio R D · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not too many words on the pages, information gets repetitive and hard to enjoy. Probably won’t read the net book.

[Bailey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another success. Camping always makes for funny stories. I loved that a lot of our favorite characters from previous books made an appearance. The three wise owls are a family favorite. Fred the ghost is the best too. I can relate a lot to Andy and terrys packing for their trip too. A funny definition of a word on every page.

SPOILERS and book notes:
Word o matic (knows every word in the whole world). So there is a word a page and its definition. And of course the definitions are witty and hilarious. “graveyard: “a good place for storing a whole bunch of dead people.” There is a graveyard level where it’s always midnight. A toffee apple orchard guarded by a kind scarecrow so all the kids have eaten the candy. and a cave with a dragon!!! Word: “flumadiddle: utter nonsense.” Them packing for camping: “"Have you packed the ax, the portable basketball ring, totem-tennis pole and racquets, yo-yos, board games, books, comics, rocket boosters, kitchen sink, spare kitchen sink, and emergency replacement spare kitchen sink?" A camping trip with: “Edward scooper hands, Mary Lollipops, the trunkinator, the kind scarecrow, the three wise owls, pinchy McPhee (the crab), fancy fish, and the penguins.” I totally ship Edward and Mary. They are ADORABLE. The wise owls are treys favorite. They spit out random funny words. The scarecrow tells a story about a ghost of a ghost of a ghost… Fred the ghost saves them and leads the hobyas trying to get them into the dragon cave! And the dragon breathes fire on them and kills then haha. Fred is now a ghost of a ghost of a ghost of a ghost of a ghost. Then Mary and Edward get married!!! And have a honeymoon!!! So adorable. Terry has a pet flying Axolotl. And Trey knew what it was!! I had no idea it is a real thing. It’s a salamander type thing.

What is this book about? (write 1-2 sentences) To boys called Andy and Terry. They go camping and they pick up the ice robot and the lollie pop robot. When they get there they reliese they have forgotten the tents. They end they find a tarp to sleep under. They hear something in the bush and it Jill on a Hobyah hunt. Hobyahs are a little animal with a pointy noise and they put you in bags and pock you with sticks and yell Hobyah! Hobyah! Hobyah! They got found and put in bags but Terry didn't and he helped them get out.
