Even if you’ve been reading books for young readers in the United States for a number of years, chances are you still are not aware of Andy Griffiths. But he is considered by many the most popular and one of the best-selling author for young readers in Australia.
Griffiths and illustrator Terry Denton have created a Treehouse series, which has gained popularity in the states and is a New York Times bestselling series. Each book contains 13 new stories, and they’re now up to their ninth book in the series, The 117-Story Treehouse.
