Wonderful Books submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 15, 2011, 2:03pm A great series for younger readers. My cousin really enjoys these books, and I loved them when I was younger.

Awesome submitted by Memoria1224 on July 16, 2011, 2:29pm This book is really cool.

Great! submitted by Margaretta on July 27, 2011, 11:39am I used to love these books!

good submitted by karenkay on July 28, 2011, 3:59pm Jack and Annie (brother and sister) discover a tree house that can take them any place in the books inside the tree house. They meet Morgan, the owner of the tree house, who is a magical librarian. In each book, they are given a puzzle to solve and a reference book that helps them. They explore science and history in the process of solving these puzzles. Some of the books were a bit scary for my kids. Generally, Jack and Annie work well together but there are times when Annie makes poor decisions that get them into trouble. A good way to sneak in some teaching in a reasonably entertaining and inoffensive manner

Great Series submitted by mysterio on June 28, 2012, 1:46am The Magic Tree House series brings back so many great memories. I remember reading these books when I was in the third grade and they were my favorite books. Everyone in my class was so into these books, they wouldn’t let go of them. These books are action-packed, full of adventure, filled with astounding twists and turns, and sometimes give the reader a nice laugh. Not only do they entertain the reader, but they also give tons of information about history. The storylines aren’t all that bad, either. I think it’s a nice way to educate our young ones. The series is a very interesting mix of fiction and nonfiction. Sometimes, I even find myself skimming through the books just for a nice, quick, twenty-minute read. I bought a few of the books when I was younger and now I’ve passed them on to my younger sister. She not only loves the series, but she is determined to read the entire series. I also appreciate the fact that the author, Mary Pope Osborne, is still writing books in the Magic Tree House series. Each book is a simple chapter book, ranging from seventy pages to one-hundred twenty pages. I would definitely recommend this entire series to anyone from kindergarten to fourth grade (based on the individual’s reading level, of course).

Great submitted by purunai on August 5, 2015, 3:03pm This book is really fun but also tells you a lot about Greece

encourages reading submitted by 23lisq on August 5, 2015, 8:50pm My daughter is loving this series. Clever mix of fiction and non fiction.

Good book submitted by melissahimich on July 9, 2018, 10:07am Great small introduction to Ancient Greece for kids!

Great book submitted by Smiles on July 13, 2018, 12:54am The magic treehouse series was definitely one of my favorite series as a child! It's super fun and enthralling reading about all the adventures Jack and Annie would go on!

Greece submitted by JY 2005 on August 14, 2018, 7:02pm Jack and Annie go to Ancient Greece and see the 1st olympic games!

Best series submitted by TLW1998 on July 13, 2019, 10:51am We love Magic Treehouse books. They are educational, and the characters are kind and sweet. The storylines are good, and I even enjoy reading them to my 4-year old. These books have just the right intensity to make you want to keep turning the page, but not scaring your kid. They are excellent adventure books where you learn cool facts along the way. And, they teach kids through Jack’s example to use books for reference and as a resource to help you. They definitely promote a love of reading by using books throughout their adventures.

I can not say enough good things about this series. It is the best children’s chapter book series that I ever ran across. We ended up buying the entire collection because we read them so often and again and again.

In this book, Jane and Annie (siblings) travel in their magic treehouse to ancient Greece and the Olympic Games (where no girls are allowed).

Good Series submitted by kathscot on August 31, 2019, 9:46am Jack and Annie learn about the ancient Greeks in this part of their adventures.

olympics submitted by .-.-.-. on July 15, 2020, 8:23am good theme. Olympic village sounded exciting. i wonder what it would be like. anyways, great book with lots of humor! 5/5 stars.

The origin submitted by desuka81 on July 27, 2021, 12:56pm a fictional story about Olympics

I love it! submitted by luveu96 on June 23, 2022, 9:09pm I love this book! It gives readers a laugh, and also teaches you about real times in history. It is like an adventure and a informational book at the same time. It also has a fact tracker book to go along with it, to teach you the facts it couldn’t fit in the story. 5/5 stars

Fun as Always submitted by Abbie D. on July 7, 2022, 1:53pm Time to head back to Ancient Greece! Very educational and adventurous as ever
