In their third adventure in this popular series, Andy and Terry have a tight deadline from their publisher, Mr Big Nose, for their latest book (tomorrow afternoon, or else!), but, as usual, they haven't finished it yet.

​

Terry however, has come up with a new invention, the Once-Upon-a-Time Machine, which he says will be able to write and illustrate a whole book without him or Andy having to do anything!

​

But when the machine kicks them both out of the treehouse when it thinks it can write a better book than Andy and Terry, the duo have a new problem. Will Professor Stupido, the world's greatest un-inventor, be able to help them, or will he only end up making things worse?

​

If your kids have read the first two books in this series, then they'll enjoy this one.

​

Just like the last two, there are lots of crazy and imaginative new features in the treehouse, like an active (but non-erupting) volcano, Andy and Terry's Believe It...Or Else! museum, and a elephant boxer named The Trunkinator, who can knock someone out with just one punch using his trunk.

​

There are also lots of funny illustrations from Terry, as always, which help to tell the story as well, like the double-page spread of the new treehouse levels, or when Terry is showing off his new invention to Andy (which stretches over a full five pages).

​

Overall, this is another funny, inventive story from a talented duo, and the third in a wildly popular series.
