ABOUT THE BOOK
Andy and Terry have built their biggest and most astonishing treehouse yet! It has everything they—and you—could wish for including an electric pony stable, a Santa Land, a NOISY level, a kangaroo-riding range, a weather dome (where you can have whatever weather you want whenever you want it), a 100% edible gingerbread house and a potato-powered translation transmitter that allows you to talk to everyone—and everything—all at the same time.
And best of all there’s a hall of funhouse mirrors, which is the perfect place to hide from Mr Bunkoff who is trying to catch Andy, Terry and Jill and send them to SCHOOL.
But Anti-Andy, Terrible Terry and Junkyard Jill—their trouble-making opposites—are trapped in one of the mirrors—and they want out. (Oh, and Mr Big Nose wants his book written … RIGHT NOW.)
Can our heroes escape school, defeat their doppelgangers AND meet their book deadline?
Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up to find out!
