Good! submitted by Margaretta on July 27, 2011, 11:42am Really great series for young readers!

good submitted by karenkay on July 28, 2011, 4:18pm 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

Awesome submitted by xjasx on June 17, 2012, 11:12pm I love reading these series, they have a sense of danger in them as well as a lot of history. It is a great book for children.

Great Series submitted by mysterio on June 28, 2012, 1:52am 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).

Educational and entertaining submitted by sarai koster-mockeridge on June 23, 2015, 6:01pm Great book series that is both educational and entertaining!

Africa submitted by JY 2005 on August 25, 2018, 10:08pm Jack and Annie go to Africa to try to solve a riddle. They meet lions and other savanna animals.

Best series ever submitted by TLW1998 on July 13, 2019, 10:34am 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 Africa.

Good Series submitted by kathscot on August 31, 2019, 9:48am Jack and Annie learn about African wildlife while solving the next riddle of Morgan Le Fey.

Safari Time! submitted by Abbie D. on July 7, 2022, 1:33pm Love this series! Great for young readers. I still enjoy them as quick reads as an adult

An Okay Adventure submitted by Meginator on July 4, 2023, 11:35pm This is a fairly standard Magic Tree House adventure, where Annie darts off into the unknown and Jack reluctantly follows only to discover his own capacity for courage and awe. This installment finds the siblings in more mortal peril than usual as they face down quicksand and predators in the East African plains, and it’s nice to see them rely entirely on their own wits for once, instead of requiring supernatural assistance. The book’s depiction of a mute Masai warrior is a bit uncomfortable, especially given that the human characters in almost every other book can speak to them in English, or at least attempt to actively communicate, and feels like an awkward attempt to acknowledge local people without figuring out a way to meaningfully integrate them into the story (seriously, Morgan le Fay has friends in all times and places except here?). Despite that odd chapter, however, the book has a solid plot with with a clever resolution that involves Jack and Annie using what they’ve learned on the fly to solve a problem rather than having someone (or something) swoop in and solve it for them. Peppered with interesting facts about the region’s animal life, this is an enjoyable addition to the series.
