The 13-Storey Treehouse
Publisher: Macmillan
A rip-roaringly funny book about writing (or actually not writing) a book. The author and illustrator realise that they are due to present their latest book to their publisher within 24 hours. Unfortunately they have absolutely no idea what to write, and all sorts of bizarre things keep happening which prevent them from writing anything! Living in a 13-story treehouse is hard enough, but that's the least of their problems.
Griffiths and Denton create a metafictional triumph to engage even the most determined hater of books. Very liberally endowed with hilarious cartoon drawings, which guide the reader and add several pages which can be 'read' within seconds, we also have a whistlestop tour of book production, from writing to reader.

I use to hate reading and feel forced to read but now i will pick up one of these books and feel like i could read forever. They're so simple yet effective and i have personally fell in love with these books.

The second funniest book my 7 yr son has read ( and mine!). What was the first funniest? - 52 storey treehouse! which we read in australia before we managed to get this one, Guess what we bought in advance of its publication ? that is right 26 storey treehouse! This is the perfect book for a reader who really needs to move to bigger books but is put off by the size of them - show them how few words there are on some pages, convince them to try "because its not as long as it looks" and hey ...
