Good book submitted by Memoria1224 on July 15, 2011, 5:17pm I like the penguin part.

Jack and Annie submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 23, 2011, 9:11am Jack and Annie are off on another voyage, this time to meet penguins.

good submitted by karenkay on July 28, 2011, 3:37pm 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

I love penguins submitted by morganf on July 31, 2011, 10:56am Another chilly adventure with Jack and Annie. Must read.

Great Series submitted by mysterio on June 28, 2012, 1:36am 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 series submitted by 23lisq on August 7, 2015, 8:26am This series encourages reading. My daughter is hooked

It's Really Good submitted by AmberG on July 4, 2018, 6:15pm It tells you about Antarctica.
(This review is from a seven year old)

Great! submitted by kkellis on July 16, 2018, 9:38pm Another great Magic Tree House book! This one is set in Antarctica and Jack and Annie are looking for the last secret of happiness for Merlin. My kids love the part where Jack coughs to try to cover the sound of the baby penguin!

Antarctica submitted by JY 2005 on August 14, 2018, 10:15pm Jack and Annie go to Antarctica to find an item of happiness for Merlin. On their trip, they meet penguins.

Awesome book and series submitted by TLW1998 on August 5, 2019, 9:20pm 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.

The Merlin Missions (later half of the Magic Treehouse series) are a bit longer and involve more magic and fantasy lands. They are great imaginative tales, and they are considered a little more advanced reading.

In this book (the 12th Merlin Mission), Jane and Annie (siblings) travel to Antarctica where they must find the final secret of happiness to save Merlin.

Good children book! submitted by wookeny on August 6, 2019, 8:26pm I like this book, because it teaches the kids well, how to read. This book is really easy to read, and is very adventurous and very fun!

good submitted by .-.-.-. on July 14, 2020, 11:52am one of my least favorite Merlin Missions, but still amazing. Definitely recommended, there's a ton of action and adventure!
