cover of The 13 Storey Tree House The 13 Storey Tree House

by Terry Denton  

Andy and Terry's 13-storey treehouse is the most amazing treehouse in the world! It's got a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a tank full of man-eating sharks, a giant catapult, a secret underground laboratory and a marshmallow machine that follows you around and shoots marshmallows into your mouth whenever you're hungry.

Why Terry loves reading…

Books are just like movies, except you are producing all the pictures inside your own head. And they put you inside someone else's head too, so you experience someone else's experience.
