I liked it because it was about dragons and the samurai warriors. The guy that Jack and Annie was with trained to be a samurai warrior. When he was a young man, he wanted to be a poetry writer. He is the teacher of the samurai now. ( )

This is the most recent Magic Tree House book (although we've come nowhere close to reading the rest of the series). My son and I both enjoyed this book, which is set in 17th century Japan. We meet the famous poet Basho, who was well known for writing in the style that later evolved into Haiku (the book tells us that he wrote Haiku, but that's contrary to some research we did on our own after reading the book). The children are sent back to Japan in order to find one of the secrets of Happiness, and end up having to figure out a way to save Edo from burning to the ground. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375837272, Hardcover)

Merlin the Magician will not eat or sleep or speak to anyone in Camelot. What can be done? The enchantress Morgan knows who to ask
for help: young Jack and Annie of Frog Creek, Pennsylvania! The brother-and-sister team quickly head off in the magic tree house on another magical and historical adventure.

Their mission: discover one of the four secrets of happiness.

Their journey: to a land of fierce samurai and great beauty, the capital city of Edo (now the city of Tokyo), in ancient Japan in the 1600s.

Their tools: a research book to guide them and a magic wand with three special rules.

In Dragon of the Red Dawn, Mary Pope Osborne transports readers back to the splendor, rich culture, and magic of traditional Japan.
