Description

Andy and Terry live in a 130-story treehouse. It used to be a 117-story treehouse, but they added another 13 stories. It has a soap bubble blaster, a time-wasting level, a 13-story igloo, the GRABINATOR (it can grab anything from anywhere at any time). It is a toilet paper factory, and an extraterrestrial observation center for observing aliens. As it turns out, though, it's Andy, Terry, and Jill who are being observed and then abducted by a giant flying eyeball from outer space! At first they're excited to be going on an intergalactic space adventure, but when they arrive on Planet Eyeballia, they discover it's not at all a friendly place. Will the gang be able to escape, get back to Earth, and write their book before time runs out?

A graphic novel for 8-12 year olds. Terry and Andy along with Jill end up in space in an intergalactic fight for eyeballs' entertainment. They also make a promise to one of the combatants who saved them to help save his planet.

I think I needed to read the other 9 books for this to make a lot of

sense. I understood it but it would have helped to know how they got to 130 stories in their treehouse. Also there are characters that it would have helped to know where they fit in instead of them just popping up--like the penguins. 8-12 year olds would enjoy the zaniness of this story (and probably the series.) As an adult it didn't live up to expectations.
