Description

Come along with New York Times-bestselling author Andy Griffiths (The 13-Story Treehouse) on a brand-new adventure that plunks the reader right into the middle of all the wacky action and laughs with its unique storytelling style.

Hey, you and me sure have had a lot of amazing adventures together, haven't we?

Remember the time we flew to the moon without a rocket? And remember the time we went to the bottom of the ocean and fought a high-voltage giant octopus? And how about the time we got lost in The Land of Lost Things?

What? You don't remember? Really? Well, let me refresh your memory. It all started like this...

Praise for You and Me and the Land of Lost Things (You & Me #1)

Praise for You and Me and the Land of Lost Things:

"Griffiths has no trouble at all keeping firm hold on his intention to keep chortling readers entertained from start to final high-five. Hope’s lively cartoon illustrations add visual action and sight gags to every page, and along with tacking on instructions for a personal homemade adventure helmet, he even takes over occasional two-page spreads for an intricate map, montage, or mini comic. Give a hand, or two, to this surreal, headlong romp." —Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The Treehouse series:

"Anarchic absurdity at its best . . . Denton's manic cartooning captures every twist and turn in hilarious detail." —Publishers Weekly, starred review, on The 13-Story Treehouse

"Will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey . . . The wonderfully random slapstick humor is tailor-made for reluctant readers . . . A treat for all." —Booklist, on The 13-Story Treehouse

"Twice the treehouse, twice the fun? You bet . . . Denton's furiously scrawled line drawings milk the silly, gross-out gags for everything they're worth. Kids should be flipping pages faster than a pair of inflatable underpants can skyrocket the young heroes to safety." —Publishers Weekly, starred review, on The 26-Story Treehouse

"This zany sequel, as much cartoon illustration as text, is an almost nonstop adventure." —Booklist, on The 26-Story Treehouse

"Look, if you haven't heard of the Treehouse series by now, you probably don't know many kids. ... Chock-full of mischief, wonder and imagination." —The Sydney Morning Herald, on The 156-Story Treehouse
