The 13-Storey Treehouse has 13 storeys, including a bowling alley, a tank full of man-eating sharks and a marshmallow machine that follows us around and fires marshmallows into our mouths whenever we’re hungry.

In this book we describe a typical day in the treehouse where Terry and I deal with flying cats, sea-monkeys, a sea monster, a mermaid, real monkeys and a giant gorilla.
