Synopsis:
The #1 bestselling chapter book is now a graphic novel!
Magic. Mystery. Time-travel.
Get whisked back in time in the magic tree house with Jack and Annie!
Our Thoughts:
Join Jack and Annie as they discover a mysterious (and magical!) tree house in the woods not far from their house. The tree house is filled from top to bottom with books and when Jack and Annie make a wish, they find themselves thrust back into the time of the dinosaurs!
My daughter and I started reading this chapter book series last year and really enjoyed all the time travel adventures that Jack and Annie find themselves on. They are quick and easy reads that are perfect for beginner readers and are filled with facts about the time period that they end up traveling to so they are both fun and educational.
This new graphic novel adaptation was even more fun to read, especially because my daughter picked this one up and read it out loud to me instead of the usual vice versa. The 'he said' and 'she said's were left out (thank the bookgods) and there's a lot of onomatopoeia that makes this even more beginner-reader friendly.
This series is perfect for fans of history and magic and this first adaptation is perfect for dinosaur lovers!
