Andy and Terry live in a treehouse that has 13 stories, a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a secret underground laboratory, and a marshmallow machine that follows you around and automatically shoots marshmallows into your mouth whenever you are hungry. Life would be perfect if it wasn't for the fact that Andy and Terry have to write their next book, which is almost impossible because there are just so many distractions, including 13 flying cats, giant bananas, mermaids, a sea monsters pretending to be mermaids, enormous gorillas, and dangerous burp gas-bubblegum bubbles!
