What does the Pageticker team say about The 78-Storey Treehouse?

The 78-Storey Treehouse turns Andy and Terry’s trademark silliness up to maximum height, with comic-style illustrations, impossible inventions and spy cows causing the sort of chaos children will relish. As the sixth book in the series, it works best for fans who already know the duo, but its energetic format and friendship troubles also make it a strong choice for children who enjoy funny, fast-moving chapter books.
