Introducing The Land of Lost Things
Look, we’ve got a new book!
Hey, you – yes, YOU!
Remember when we went to the Land of Lost Things to look for my lost lucky rabbit’s foot and then WE got lost TOO? That was one of our most exciting, surprising and KNUCKLE-HEADED adventures EVER. What? You DON’T remember?
Well, have I got a story for YOU!
The Land of Lost Things, the first book in the Adventures Unlimited series – which features me and YOU — has landed.
Get your adventure suit on and let’s get going!
“It is such a blast to be collaborating with the enormously talented Bill Hope on Adventures Unlimited.
His drawings have a cinematic quality that amplify the fun of the fast-paced narrative and the mind-expanding thrills of book-based adventuring. We hope readers—of all ages and abilities—get swept up in the unlimited adventure and take the series to their hearts in the same enthusiastic way they have embraced the Treehouse books.”
Andy Griffiths
“Working on the Adventures Unlimited series with Andy Griffiths has been an absolute dream job for me.
I’ve been often struck by the generosity of spirit with which Andy has welcomed and included me in his creative process. We have worked very closely together sketching and writing simultaneously so the words and pictures have a wonderful synchronicity and capture the immense fun we had creating them.”

“I take drawing very seriously…but only because I want to draw seriously silly things most of the time.”

What they’re saying about the Land of Lost Things
My son Max (7) and I (40) read the proof together over 4 nights and it captivated his imagination in a way I’ve never seen before. The narration referring to the characters as ‘You’ and ‘Me’ made him feel like we were on the adventure together, and each night he asked me where I thought our adventures would take us next. Andy has performed a genius magic trick with this book, once again delighting and dazzling young minds in a wonderfully unique way that will speak to a whole new generation of fans.
I was really excited to see a new adventure from Andy. I loved the packaging and the fun illustrations throughout this new series. I also really enjoyed how the story made me feel a connection and a part of the adventure straight away. Loved all the quirky objects lost in this crazy land and then trying to find them throughout. I also enjoyed all the different faces created in the story. This was a really fun enjoyable read! One that I will recommend to all my friends!
Full of the wacky, exuberant, imaginative shenanigans fans have come to expect . . . Part chapter book, part graphic novel, all humour and playfulness, the Adventures Unlimited series will delight existing Griffiths devotees, and win new ones.
Finished: This is a total and utter caper! Who knew you could have so many laughs around lost things in all of their different forms, a knucklehead and some incredible illustrations which add so much to the humour in this! Pirates, flying socks, treasure and a bull! Just great!
