{Arc Review} The 13-Story Treehouse by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton


 Publication date: April 16, 2013
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
ISBN-13: 9781250026903
Synopsis
Andy and Terry live in a tree house writing books, now they don’t live in your everyday tree house; they live in your dream tree house.
Right now they face a horrible problem, they both have to write a book they promise to deliver last week. And they will find out that writing this book will be particularly hard to write not only considering the distractions their tree house provides such as a bowling alley, man eating sharks, lemonade fountain.  But also the strange adventures they will get themselves into which may or may not include giant bananas, sea monkeys and flying cats.
Review
The story has a strange way to interlace itself from one strange setting to another, it doesn’t have the “it kept me in my toes” kind of feeling but it did make me curious with what Andy and Terry would do next.
The illustrations in this book may attract more of the young male population, but in its content I find just one thing that the a girl might find uncomfortable. All in all I do feel that besides the illustration this book keeps a well-balanced content that could interest both boys and girls.
Even if I say that the illustrations favor the x chromosome porters it goes perfectly well with the flow of the story.
I found this story entertaining, fun, cute and perfect for both parents and children to read together. If I was reading this with one of my small cousins (the advantage of having a big family there are always small kids with whom to share books) it would be with one that is graduating from picture books and is looking for a more content but isn’t still ready to leave the animation behind.
