Both my sons are currently reading Magic Tree House stories. I’d never read any entries of this collection and was curious, so picked one of them up. It is a cute, short adventure story that sneaks in a lesson or two as it goes. (A pearl is created by a bit of sand being trapped in an oyster—fascinating!) Oddly, it appears that Morgan Le Fay is a hero here, instead of the more typical Arthurian villain. As this is book nine in the series and not book one I don’t know if there is a reason she has been rehabilitated, but it struck me as odd. Clearly a kid’s book, but anything that keeps my boys reading I support wholeheartedly!
First Sentence:
Jack stared out the kitchen window.
