Product Description
In their first adventure as Master Librarians, Jack and Annie go to the

forever. Little do they know they are saving the myth of Hercules! But before

they can find it, the town's volcano erupts in a mighty explosion. Just when

things look hopeless, Jack and Annie get some unexpected help from a certain

mythic hero - and the rest, as they say, is history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Children need fantasy, May 28, 2001
By "june2222" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
The purpose of fantasy is to enable children (and adults) to experience what they never could in reality. Every child knows that no adult would send him to the vicinity of a rumbling volcano--which is exactly why they love stories in which things like that happen. Seeing make-believe heroes in danger and seeing them get out of it is one of the ways children learn to be brave and optimistic. If a 4-year-old loves these books, then he's getting something useful out of them. My 8-year-old loves them, and I will happily keep reading them to him as long as he wants!

4.0 out of 5 stars Magic Tree House is Magically Magnificent!, April 30, 2003
By T. Thompson (Wales, ME) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I discovered these books in my work as a teacher of reading to 2nd grade students. And students just love them!
Let me start by saying this is an excellent series of books. The way that Mary Pope Osborne incorporates: science, social studies(history/geography) and many other important academic elements into her stories is phenomenal!
The stories are exciting and well written. They have a way of drawing kids in and keeping them wanting to turn pages.
In our guided reading groups we usually read a chapter or two per day and the students frequently beg me to read more! That is how much kids love these books! Isn't that refreshing?
This particular installment in the Magic Tree House series finds Jack and Annie traveling back to ancient Rome! They happen to land in Pompeii in A.D. 79 on the day that Mount Vesuvius erupts!
This book incorporates two very popular elements for young children: volcanos and magic. It is undeniable that young students are intrigued by the power of volacanos. They love to read about them and this particular book is a great way for them to start researching.
Jack and Annie's adventures never fail to thrill readers and keep them interested.
I highly recommend these books for students in early elementary school. They are excellent for students in 2nd grade. Enjoy!
