I picked this book up expecting to feel brain cells dying as I read it. I was very wrong; I can see why my students enjoy this series so much. It's very well written (albeit extremely simplistic) and interesting. It was an extremely quick read and is educational, to boot! ( )

In this story, Jack and Annie go back in time to 1906. They go back to San Fransisco on the morning of the big earthquake that left San Fransisco burning for three days. They are searching for a special writing. Something to lend. As they help a few people trying to save things and get out of the city, Jack and Annie discover their special writing and learn something new.
I remembered hearing about learning about earthquakes and what to do in an earthquake as a child.
This story could be used to teach students proper procedures in case of natural emergencies.
This story could also be used to teach students about sympathy, and hope.

My son and I really enjoyed this book. It's part of the Magic Tree House Series and my son really enjoys most of these books. This was one of the better ones we have read together so far. It describes the events of the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. ( )

This book is very informational about the earthquake in San Fransisco. Keeps the reader interested, while educating them on a historical event. This is a very good starter chapter book. ( )

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 067989070X, Paperback)

The year is 1906, the place is San Francisco. Annie and her brother, Jack, have just traveled here in their magic tree house, on a mission from Morgan le Fay, the mysterious magical librarian from King Arthur's time. In an effort to save Camelot, the children have already found three special kinds of writing for Morgan's library: something to follow (Civil War on Sunday), something to send (Revolutionary War on Wednesday), and something to learn (Twister on Tuesday). Now it's time to find "something to lend." It's a quiet, peaceful morning in San Francisco, and Annie is eager to start exploring. So eager, in fact, that she pulls Jack away from his research just before he would have learned a very important piece of information... All too soon, the siblings figure it out for themselves: they have arrived in this lovely city a moment before one of the biggest earthquakes the U.S. has ever known shakes the Bay Area to pieces! Stunned, Jack and Annie wander the streets, but quickly find a purpose. Lots of people need help transporting goods to safety, and many more are left without any idea where to go or what to do. But what about their mission? Will the kids find something to lend before the entire city goes up in flames?

Mary Pope Osborne's tremendously popular Magic Tree House series offers young readers a chance to immerse themselves in spellbinding adventures even as they learn about history. The terrible San Francisco earthquake is described with great historical accuracy, but with admirable age-appropriateness. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
