The 117-Storey Treehouse

What do our readers think of The 117-Storey Treehouse ? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children find the book very funny, imaginative and exciting, especially its silly characters, surprising ideas and detailed pictures. Some children find the story so chaotic that it can be hard to follow, but they still enjoy the energetic adventure and want to read more of the series.

What does the Pageticker team say about The 117-Storey Treehouse ?

We love the way this book combines energetic storytelling with Terry Denton’s wonderfully chaotic cartoons, making even a long chapter book feel lively and accessible. Its playful ideas about imagination, authorship and the ‘rules’ of stories give children plenty to explore, while the slapstick humour, toilet jokes and fast-moving peril will suit fans of silly, action-packed adventures more than readers looking for a calm or realistic tale.
