Welcome back guys, and I figured that since I brought it up before, I decided to make a post focusing on my initial children’s book series of interest before Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Magic Tree House, as well as a little something about the series that American readers might not be aware of…
In case you don’t know, Magic Tree House centers on the adventures of siblings Jack and Annie Smith (to be honest, I just found out about these last names after doing a little research; I guess they were revealed after I stopped reading), who have distinct personalities. Jack is a timid bookworm who tends to be down-to-earth and sees the world as is, while Annie is a bold daydreamer who tends to be happy-go-lucky and sees the world as she sees fit. As a result, the combination of Jack’s realism and Annie’s imagination cause the two and only those two to see a tree house in the tallest oak of the woods in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania. They then learn that the tree house was not only filled with books, but it also possesses magical powers that, whenever they point to a place in a book and wish to go there, the tree house would do just that. From then on, they use the tree house to travel to any time and place in history that they wish, seeing fun in encountering knights, mummies and pirates where anybody else would see danger. They also learn that no time passes in Frog Creek as they travel, and that the tree house is a product of the magic of Camelot, of all places. Eventually, the two are sent on various four-book long missions by a benevolent Morgan le Fay and eventually, Merlin himself, that either concern themselves or Camelot at large.
