A “Story Treehouse” book AND time travel! Sign me up!
I loved it. It was so much fun. Reluctant readers will LOVE it. I think that it’s a great book to read aloud to grade schoolers. They’ll love seeing the pictures, too.

These books have become an obsession for my reluctant reader. He reads them to me on the way to school, while I make dinner, while I get ready in the morning. They are fun and creative, and perfect for my eight year boy.

With a touch of Jack and the Beanstalk, time travel and the film Them! it's a curious adventure Andy and Terry go on. Jill comes in with her logic and reason to bring the boys into line and solve their problems all of which combine to be a pretty normal day in the treehouse.
In this new adventure you learn new words, get to travel through history in a wheelie bin, albeit a smidge inaccurately, but it is fun. TreeNN is a fun addition as well, ending chapters with something different. I liked the break in formula in this one, no book talk, instead we need a building inspection from Inspector Bubblewrap. This prompts the time travel and all sorts of mishaps as they try to travel back 6.5 years and end up at all different points through history.
Admittedly, I couldn't get into this story as easily as the others. I liked the diversion from the normal structure because that can be boring after a while. It was fun but not as engaging as the previous stories. I also got a visual copy in the end because while Wemyss has done a brilliant job in the past to compensate, I needed Denton’s illustrations this time to appreciate some of the jokes and references.
The Treehouse series continues to grow and change with each book and the creativity and inventiveness of Griffiths and Denton is amazing. The jokes are clever and the illustrations are so detailed that there is always something to discover in them. The two make a perfect team and while I didn’t love this storey as much as previous storeys, I look forward to seeing what the next storey in the treehouse has to offer.
