    About this ebook

    New York Times-bestselling team Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton invite readers to come hang out with them in their 117-Story Treehouse—the ninth book in the illustrated chapter book series filled with Andy and Terry's signature slapstick humor!

    Andy and Terry live in a 117-story treehouse. (It used to be a 104-story treehouse, but it just keeps growing!) It now has a pajama-party room, a water-ski park filled with flesh-eating piranhas, an Underpants Museum, a giant-fighting-robot arena, and the Door of Doom (don’t open it or you’ll be COMPLETELY and UTTERLY DOOMED!).

    For as long as Andy and Terry have been writing books together, Andy has always been the narrator and Terry has always been the illustrator. But when Terry tries to prove that he can narrate as well as draw, the story goes completely out of control and the Story Police arrive to arrest the whole treehouse team for crimes against storytelling! Andy, Terry and Jill go on the run, but how long can they evade the Story Police and stay out of Story Jail?

    Praise for Andy Griffiths and the Treehouse series:

    "Anarchic absurdity at its best. . . . Denton's manic cartooning captures every twist and turn in hilarious detail." —Publishers Weekly, starred review, on The 13-Story Treehouse

    "Will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey. . . . The wonderfully random slapstick humor is tailor-made for reluctant readers. . . . A treat for all." —Booklist on The 13-Story Treehouse

    The 117-Story Treehouse - Andy Griffiths

    CHAPTER 1

    THE 117-STORY TREEHOUSE

    Hi, my name is Andy.

    This is my friend Terry.

    We live in a tree.

    Well, when I say tree, I mean treehouse.

    And when I say treehouse, I don’t just mean any old treehouse—I mean a 117-story treehouse.

    (It used to be a 104-story treehouse, but we’ve added another 13 stories.)

    So what are you waiting for?

    Come on up!

    We’ve added a tiny-horse level,

    a pajama-party room,

    an Underpants Museum,

    a photo-bombing booth,

    a waiting room,

    a treehouse visitor center with a 24-hour information desk, a penguin-powered flying treehouse tour bus, and a gift shop,

    the Door of Doom (don’t open it or you’ll be COMPLETELY and UTTERLY DOOMED!),

    a circus with fire-eaters, sword-swallowers,

    chair-tamers, trapeze artists, and clowns,

    an all-you-can-eat-including-the-furniture level where you can eat absolutely everything, including the furniture,

    a kite-flying hill,

    a traffic school,

    a giant-fighting-robot arena,

    and a water ski park filled with flesh-eating piranhas—don’t fall in!

    As well as being our home, the treehouse is where we make books together. I write the words, and Terry draws the pictures.

    As you can see, we’ve been doing this for quite a while now.

    It can get a little crazy at times …

    but somehow we always get our book done in the end.

    CHAPTER 2

    CAN! CAN’T! CAN!

    If you’re like most of our readers, you’re probably wondering why it’s always me who tells the story and never Terry.

    Yeah, says Terry. I’ve wondered that, too. How come I never get to tell the story?

    Because I’m the narrator, I say, and you’re the illustrator—that’s why!

    I can narrate, too, you know, says Terry.

    No, you can’t, I say.

    Yes, I can! says Terry.

    I’m just about to yell CAN’T even bigger when Jill comes along.

    What are you two arguing about? she
