Summary
Add a SummaryJack and Annie discover the tree house and, using the magical books there, they travel back to the Late Cretaceous period (65 million years ago) where they meet a Pteranodon that saves them from a T-rex. Jack finds a gold medallion with the letter "M" on it.
Annie likes imagination. Jack likes things that are real. They go in the treehouse and read the books and the things in the books come to real life. Jack loves books. Annie is not scared. Jack is a liitle scared. I like how the things in the book come to life.
Jack and his sister Annie find a mysterious tree house in the woods. They soon find out it can transport them to different places, and different times. They accidentally get transported to dinosaur times and are in for an adventure!

This is the very best fantasy and adventure series for kids. Jack and Annie go on magical journeys accompanied by the wizard, Merlin. They fly away to different moments in time in their tree house. Honestly, it is the bomb.

Though this series will not spark and challenge a young reader's thinking and conceptualizing, it is a great introduction to chapter books for the very young reader with simple story lines and likable characters. The cover praises this book for "newly independent readers." If that means K-1 then I agree. If that means grades 2-3 then I think these readers are being underestimated.
This entire series is great for littler kids.
I like the book because of the magic tree house. ~ Marissa, age 8
So very earnest. So very full of simple stereotypes. So very well plotted and characterized that I can see why this has remained the most popular beginning chapter book series since I started in the business almost fifteen years ago.
Young siblings Jack and Annie find a mysterious box that they use to travel through time and space, often aided by they box's powerful, magical owner. That's right, in its most basic form the series is Doctor Who for 6-8 year old readers (which has been popular enough to become one of the longest running TV shows of all time). Older Jack (8) is the cautious, studious one who wants to learn before leaping; Annie (7) is the optimistic one who rushes right into everything. It's a perfect combination to establish a balance of adventure and education, with just a touch of tension between them. The tree house's owner provides the mystery.
(This review is for the audio of books 1-8, listened to in immediate succession.)
