Winter of the Ice Wizard

An exciting tale that involves merlin the magician who Annie and Jack must save from the ice wizard who lost his eye. I haven't read one of these books in a long time, but I missed how exciting they can be. The black and white illustrations throughout just help out the story move along in such a fast speed pace. It is so greatly written, but it will not get the credit it deserves because it is "just a magic treehouse book", but it really is great literature. It teaches without the child even realizing there was a lesson there, when the wizard lost his eye and sight he also lost his heart like Merlin said, because you also see with your heart. What a great thought and idea, I enjoyed this book very much.

Another book that my daughter picked out at the library. Annie and Jack must travel to the land behind the clouds to help Merlin regain his staff. The winter wizard has lured them under false pretenses and now to save Merlin and Morgan they must retrieve the Winter Wizard's eye from the 3 fates.

I would recommend this book to a fourth or fifth grade child as a good chapter book. I gave this book a 3 because it is pretty long. A magician goes missing so the children go to find him at the frozen kingdom of ice and snow.

winter of the ice wizard Do like reading about a great mystery book? Well this is the book to do that. My favorite part is when the Ice Wizard lost his eye and Jack and Annie lost their friends. The Ice Wizard was talking to Jack and Annie and he said,” if you get my eye back you can have your friends.” Jack and Annie took the hard way and choose to get their friend. They also had many obstacles to get through. My favorite character Jack because he knows what to do and some many other things. Annie his sister would want to go ever where the moon, the beach, and so many other places. AUTHOR Mary Pope Osborne has written many Magic Tree-House books.

I liked the book a little because it was about nature and wolves. Arrrooohhhhh! It was very cool because it was about a wizard.

The kids really are idiots here. They've mentioned several times how Merlin always signs with an "M," yet they blatantly ignored that little omission this time? SMH
