babyleo's review against another edition
4.0
I liked this story, not as much as the pirate story in the 26-Storey Treehouse, but it was fun. I liked the mystery element and I liked that it kept the silliness of Andy and Terry we've come to expect without going overboard.
Jill returns as well. Any story is better with Jill in it; she balances out the boys, and brings some reason to their antics while also having her own silliness. There's also a lot of references to their past books and adventures in this story. Which, if you've read the other books is a nice reminder, but if not you aren't really missing out but may be a bit confused.
Again, the illustrations are as much a part of these books as the text, the animals in the treehouse are great, there're even some great nods to other books: I spotted a hobbit on an eagle in one picture. Denton puts in a lot of fun detail and comments that are a fun story in themself. This frivolity has always been transported into the audiobook with Wemyss's voices so the effects are still there, but looking at the detail of Denton's treehouse and the numerous characters in it can be simple but quite elaborate at the same time.
I liked the multiple components of this story, it wasn't one big story, but multiple things that all connected. Just when you thought the adventure was over there was another one. I look forward to more Jill appearances and whatever awaits in another 13-storeys.

Another 13 levels and things are not quite right in the world. Gill has dissapeared, Andy and Terry have some birthday difficulties and Vegetables are abound. It is chaos. Enjoyable chaos, yet some of the things were crazy. Vegetables are manic and evil but if you don't eat them they will get out of control.

If you revel in stupid jokes, think ninja snails are the height of humor, and like books with very few lines of text on a page, then you will love "52-Story Treehouse" and all of its predecessors. The protagonists of this series are Andy and Terry, the actual author and illustrator of each book. They have built a massive treehouse with a floor devoted to almost everything imaginable, like a rocket-powered carrot launcher, a fully stocked pizza parlor, and a rocking horse racetrack. The two boys appear to spend their days hanging out, getting roped into extraordinarily ridiculous situations that are references frequently in this book. The plot is fairly straightforward - Terry has forgotten Andy's birthday - but quickly becomes so convoluted that most readers will forget this is the main conflict. Vengeful potato princes and flying fried egg cars, anyone? Ultimately, this will appeal to upper elementary readers who enjoy silly stories that are heavy on graphic elements and light on sophistication.

Of COURSE the only way to stop an enchanted carrot curse and save everyone from the evil Vegetable kingdom ruled by a potato prince is to eat more vegetables.
I knew that.
I knew that.

In solidarity with with Vegetable Patty I too resolve to be a vegetable fighter and revenge-atarian. They did not kill my parents, I just really like to eat them. How cruel is that?

So I read this because I was bored at work and holy crap I wish I would have just stayed bored at work. I can't believe children actually enjoy reading this stuff.

I (temporarily) stole this from my little sisters friend. It's easy enough to read alone, and has even more merit if you already know Andy and Terry. Just Macbeth was my favourite. Lot's of pictures and entertainment. Get this for the younger person in your life (or just use them as an excuse to read it yourself)
