The JUST! series is narrated by a character loosely based on myself as a kid. The first book, Just Tricking!, was published in 1997 and consists of ten short stories in which the fictional Andy plays all the practical jokes that I might have thought about but was never brave/foolhardy to actually do in real life.

This was not only my first published book, but also the first book where Terry Denton and I worked together. Rather than supplying conventional illustrations, Terry filled the margins of the books with mischievous cartoons & doodles, sometimes related to the stories (but more often not!). Just Tricking! was followed by Just Annoying!, Just Stupid!, Just Crazy!, Just Disgusting!, Just Shocking!, Just Macbeth! and Just Doomed!

When I was nine, I checked out Andy’s first book “Just tricking” and before I knew it, I was enjoying the hell outta that book and finally found the type of books that I loved to read. Needless to say I then starting reading every other novel of his that I could get my hands on (Most of them I just borrowed from my primary school’s library.) Most other novels as a kid didn’t appeal to me as I only liked to read non-fiction. (Same to this day as a young 23 year old) But back then Andy Griffith’s books were the only novels I truly ever loved, he even signed my copy of The 52 Story Treehouse back in 2014 when I met him at a signing at Big W Eastland. I reckon it would be nostalgic if he wrote for older audiences as well, especially those who grew up reading his classic novels.

I have read many books

I have read many books before, but Andy and Terry are the best author and illustrator so far! I read Just Tricking at school and it was so engaging and funny! I love your books and you should keep writing more.

I’ve loved Andy Griffiths ever

I’ve loved Andy Griffiths ever since I received the first three books of The Treehouse Series for my sixth birthday, and then I found the Just! series! I only have Just Tricking!, but i’ve checked out the whole series from the library, and i love them! Especially Just Annoying! and Just Doomed! The Just! Series even inspired me to write my on book of short stories: The Girl, The Boy, and the OTHER Boy. Keep an eye out for it when i grow up! Thank you Andy Griffiths, for delighting the world of children with your beloved books!

The Just! series is amazing!

The Just! series is amazing! Many tales in just one book! My fave book in the series was Just Macbeth. It gave me so much information about Macbeth but it still gave me a good laugh! Your books are amazing and hilarious! I cant wait for more books in the Just! series!

Super funny, probably some of

Super funny, probably some of my favourite books ever. My favourite chapter in all the books was probably ‘the run away pram’ (Just stupid) cracked up when I first heard it. My favourite book was probably Just shocking
