Jack and Annie: Vacation Under The Volcano submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 15, 2011, 2:46pm Jack and Annie take a "vacation" under a volcano in Pompeii. Unfortunately, they arrive on the day when Pompeii is to be destroyed! They must save an ancient scroll before it is too late.

Awesome submitted by Memoria1224 on July 16, 2011, 2:27pm I loved the volcano part!

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

good submitted by karenkay on July 28, 2011, 3:58pm 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

Go to Pompeii submitted by drewy234432 on June 21, 2012, 8:11pm Jack and Annie go to Pompeii to witness a terrible volcano eruption.

Great Series submitted by mysterio on June 28, 2012, 1:44am 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).

Volcano!!!! submitted by vadnala on July 11, 2012, 7:57am this is an adventure that you don't want to miss. it will keep you on the edge of your seat for the whole book.

Awesome! submitted by Miloman on June 19, 2014, 7:14pm It's a really awesome book. They are under a volcano and trying to find the book. It's a very exciting story.

Book for young readers submitted by kjshaffer on August 9, 2015, 8:59pm These books are great as early chapter books. The stories are interesting and adventurous.

Book reviews by Ruthie and Cleo submitted by Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor on April 12, 2016, 9:29am BY RUTHIE:

Do you like adventures with volcanoes? If you do, you should read Vacation Under the Volcano by Mary Pope Osborne. The book is fiction and it is part of the Magic Tree House series, and it is the 13th book. Jack and Annie were in Pompeii when the volcano erupted. They tried to get back to the magic tree house as fast as they could, but they got stuck and needed help. To find out what else happens in this book read it!

This is an excellent book. That’s why I put 5 stars. I really like the pictures because they have lots of details. I really like the chapter called Nightmare at Noon because it is scary and I like scary things, and it was also scary because of the lava. I like it because Jack and Annie are brave. For example, they ran all the way to the tree house when there was lava. This book was so cool because they were going to go on a trip with their family and they would be back in ten minutes but they had a whole big adventure and still got back in time. I recommend this book to people who like volcanoes and adventures. It is great for first grade and over.



BY CLEO:

Do you like volcano adventures? If so, read Vacation Under the Volcano by Mary Pope Osborne. This book is part the Magic Tree House fiction series. If you have read books from this series, you have probably realized that Jack and Annie are in the book, and there are real facts. If you haven’t read these books, you can find out about their adventures.

I rate this book 5 stars. I liked that it taught me new words such as amphitheater and gladiator. I like all of the Magic Tree House books for this reason: they explain facts of long ago. I thought it was very interesting when the volcano erupted. I recommend this book to people in first, second, and third grade because if you are younger you might get scared.

Pompeii submitted by JY 2005 on August 14, 2018, 9:24pm Jack and Annie go to Pompeii to retrieve a scroll, but Vesuvius, a volcano, erupted!

great book submitted by tcrbondy on August 30, 2018, 7:39pm great individual kids story and fun to see larger narrative storytelling as well

Best Children’s Chapter Series Ever! submitted by TLW1998 on July 13, 2019, 10:41am 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 Pompeii and must save a book/scroll before the volcano erupts.

Good Series submitted by kathscot on August 31, 2019, 9:50am Jack and Annie have exciting adventures while learning about history.

It's Volcano Day! submitted by Abbie D. on July 7, 2022, 1:39pm Such a fun adventure! This is one of my favorites of a series, that I still enjoy rereading to this day. Reminds me of a certain time traveling series, that I now love as an adult.
