Customer Reviews

a very good read

this is the first book in the series that I have read to my 6- year-old. He just loved it and I must confess, so did I. The book isn't too long and the story has a fast pace which holds the child's attention. I like the illustrations too. All in all highly recommended. I've just ordered 5 more

An Adventurous Story

I like books by Mary Pope Osborne but I think this is probably one of best books she ever wrote. I think that because it is filled with adventure. My favorite character in this book would be Morgan Le Fay or Annie. I recomend it for people who like adventure.

It was very good!

The book was exciting and fun to read [I read it over lunch at Tatnuck Booksellers]. Jack and Annie travel to lots of cool places but this was the best because of all of the bugs. Jack and Annie are very lucky to have found the magic tree house. This is the tenth Magic Tree House book I have read and I can hardly wait to read the next one.
