Adventure

A castle with a secret passage! That's what Jack and Annie find when the Magic Tree House whisks them back to the Middle Ages for another wild adventure. In the Great Hall of the castle, a feast is under way. But Jack and Annie aren't exactly welcome guests!

BLTSbraille | Sep 14, 2023 |

Kids love the predictable plot arcs, distinct characters, and highly varied settings of the Magic Treehouse time travel series. It is a bit boring to read aloud, because Osborne's dedication to short and easily-consumable sentences verges into the ungrammatical. (
