The 13-Storey Treehouse

Advice for those wanting to read this book,if characters who can't focus or finish their task until the last second annoy you this book may not be for you. I understand how it may appeal to a certain audience, and I predict that the tween book club I supervise will mostly have liked it, but I must say the book was not for me. I was annoyed by Terry's character. His creativeness wasn't written in an endearing way or even his lack of focus. However since I see where it can appeal to some, mostly reluctant readers or comic/humor fans I'll give it 3 stars.

Good story for kiddos. Didn't like how often it used the words “stupid,” “crazy” and “dumb.” Luckily I was reading aloud so I just changed them.

My 5 year old really loved it. Some of the humour went over his head, but I laughed :)
