This book starts out with Jack and Annie entering their tree house, and exiting into the middle ages. Jack and Annie go down and a night crossing the moat of a castle. Annie runs into the castle having heard music and drumming for a great feast, where peacock is served. They get lost in the castle, inside of the armory. The guards catch Jack and Annie and the two get taken to the dungeon. Annie shines the flashlight and sends the guards running. Jack and Annie escape down a secret passage, which through Jack falls into the waters bellow. Annie follows and they swim to safety. A night on a horse picks them up and takes them back to their tree house. They go back to their normal world, attenuated by the sound of a barking dog. Mediocre at best. Good for an Early reader, good to awaken wonder in the child. I was bored with it myself, and unamused by its development. ( )

I like this book because I like knights and it's cool. ( )

I didn't like it very much because it wasn't funny. I liked it a little bit because it was about knights and I like them. ( )

This is an example of a fantasy because the children use a magic tree house to enter a book about knights. This cannot happen in real life.
The style of this book is effective for the audience it is written for. This book is an early chapter book which means the children reading it are second graders. The font is large and the chapters are short. There are also illustrations every few pages.

This book was just ok for me as I didn't feel it had much substance or character development, however, the student I read this book with did seem to like it (she has read several in the series since then). The history was lacking, and the story plot was just not too engaging for me! ( )
