"This is your typical Magic Tree House book. Jack and Annie go back in time to another place, learn a lesson, and return home. We read this out loud with my younger two children. They still enjoy the adventures of Jack and Annie, but they struggled to get into this one for some reason.<br/><br/>Also, as a family. We are very unhappy with the new numbering system the publisher is using. It's confusing for the kids. It's confusing for the parents. We've actually ordered the same book for the latest release, thinking it was different because the titles were different. In small print on the cover of one, it says "previously published as...". This has been frustrating for more than just our family. Bad move on the publisher's part."
