We absolutely love this series of books. My son does not care to read very much, but he loves this series. We have all of them and wish there were more. I love that the books expose children to different areas of the world and various points in history as well. They are good chapter books to read with your children at earlier ages. Then, when their reading skills allow, they can read them on their own.

The Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osborne is a series that every parent or teacher of a pre-teen should be familiar with. This book, Moonlight on the Magic Flute, Book Number 41, is no different than the rest in that the genre of realistic fiction makes history come alive in a way that gets readers excited. This time, Annie and Jack, siblings that are nine and ten (eight and nine... close to that age) go to Austria during the 1700s using the Magic Tree House that is in their back yard. They are traveling to complete their mission of finding Mozart. They meet other interesting characters during their adventures, as they do in every book. When I was given the assignment in a graduate class of reviewing a chapter book with other certain criteria to meet, I needed to narrow down the field somewhat in order to make a choice, so I turned to my fifth graders. The Magic Tree House Series, including Moonlight on the Magic Flute, is somewhat below a fifth grade reading level, but they still love it and some still read it depending on what level of reading they have achieved. They suggested that I read this book. It is a new one out in the series, and we had a discussion about how great the series ties into social studies/history. This, of course, pleased me. I was familiar with the fact that this series went through historical places and times, but this is actually the first I have read in the series. What a magical book... I can't wait to read more.

Moonlight on the Magic Flute is #41 of the Magic Tree House. In this book, the main characters Jack and Annie, are transported to Vienna, Austria in time of Mozart.

The part that I enjoyed the most was when Annie kept calling Jack a clown in the song she sang when they went to chase Wolfie. I also liked the part when the animals attacked.

I would recommend this book to people who like the Magic Tree House series, Mozart fans, people who like Chapter books, and anyone who likes to read.

8 year old says "It was awesome." Favorite thing about book was all the animals following the magic flute. "The missions are so cool."

Got this for my son's BD, he read it cover to cover that day, haven't found a MTH book he hasn't loved.

This review is by my 2nd grade student, Caleb.

Jack and Annie are back! Jack,as usual is like a genius. This time they are invited to a Summer Palace. Their mission is to inspire Mozart as a boy.
I think this book is a mysterious book. This book makes me feel like a detective.
They are given a magic flute.
Will they succeed? To find out, read the book!

This book I ordered was great, my kids love it! Thanks for the good price and great quality! Looking forward to buying more books as well.

Gift for grandchild. She does not like to read but, she discovered these books and she loves them. Reads all the time now - JUST Magic Tree House books.

This is a wonderful series for the beginning reader. It encourages them to want to read to find out what happens next. Each book leads into the next one, which even had me wanting to read the next book and find out where they were going next. They have also sparked my son's curiosity in history with the subject matter and the places they visit.

My six year old son loves the Magic Tree House series. The books are great and he loves reading them.
