      This fiction novel is about a two siblings named Jack and Annie and their magic tree house. They walk into the woods to the magic tree house to meet with Morgan. Morgan sends them on a mission to save a book before the ancient library is forever lost. Magically, they end up in Rome dated back before the city of Pompeii was flooded by ashes from the volcano eruption. They accomplish their mission and returned back to the treehouse safely. This is a great book that takes imaginations to the next level.
    • 4/5
      Jack and Annie go to Pompeii to find a special book to bring back to Morgan La Fay. Looking around too long and not paying attention to warnings, they almost don't make it back to the magic tree house.
    • 3/5
      This is a good example of fantasy. The reader is engaged in the story to begin with and then when the main characters transport back to the time of Pompeii, the reader is caught up in the story and it makes the idea very believable. Age Appropriateness: IntermediateMedia: Pencil
    • 2/5
      Jack and Annie tied pillows to their heads so the volcano ash wouldn't hurt them. It was neat to read about Pompeii and when Mt. Vesuvius erupted.
    • 3/5
      This series of adventure stories is meant to excite young readers and bring the past alive, but I can't help feeling annoyed every time I read one. Though they're getting a little more interesting, they're really not all that exciting, and Jack chooses to write one or two boring notes that aren't relevent to the story and don't make much sense. This one really annoyed me "Morgan Le Fay" sent the kids off to Pompeii the day Vesuvius erupted so that the people of Camelot could have fun reading the story they picked up. Yeah, don't send them a day or two earlier, but just have them risk their lives so that the people of camelot can be entertained by the book you steal...
    • 4/5
      My son really loved this one. I'm not sure I was found of the (almost literal) deus ex machina near the end, but I really liked the historical aspects of this book.
    • 5/5
      I love the Magic Tree House series! Jack and Annie go on an adventure and quest to find a book before Pompeii is gone forever.
    • 3/5
      I really enjoy how Mary Pope Osborne writes with such clarity and dialogue. As a reader I realized I changed the voice in my head according to what Jack and Annie were saying. This helps readers keep interest and follow along with the story. I really liked how the author added historical context and made the characters 8 and 7 years old. The aspect of the two characters traveling back in time to Pompeii and experiencing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius was unlike anything else I have read. I think it is great for young readers to be engaged in. Personally, I liked how I, as the reader, could make predictions about what would happen in each following chapter. The small cliff hangers after each main point makes the reader want to continue. Since this book was all about adventure I didn't think there was a main lesson learned or big idea. However, the strong bond between Jack and Annie can teach readers to trust their friends and how to work as a team and well with others. Jack and Annie both expressed strengths and weaknesses but always helped each other and I think readers can clearly understand this and relate to the characters relationship.
    • 3/5
      I personally thought this book was average. For a chapter book, I think the Magic Tree House series are an engaging and excellent start for young readers transitioning into chapter books, however, this specific one was not my favorite. I felt that it was a bit difficult for the readers to visualize what an ancient Roman town would be like, especially for young children. The author used pictures throughout the book but I don’t feel like the pictures helped enhance the story. Unless the readers have previously learned about Roman Empires, I don’t see how this would keep a young child’s interest. Also, there was a lack of positive events in the book. For example, the children disobeyed the old woman who warned them to leave, stole a scroll from a library, and continued to put themselves in harms way. The main message of this book is adventure and determination.
    • 4/5
      For all of the students (and teachers) that love the Magic Tree House series this is a great addition. The story takes the reader to expereince Ancient Rome and the events that occurred during that time period. It is also a good quick read to accompany the ancient Rome information book for  the older elementary audience
    • 5/5
       Annie and Jack are going to Pompeii but they don't know that is where they are going. But when they need to find the ancient book and they find it a volcano erupts. Will they save themselves or the story will? That is the story in the book they find. I recommend this book to all the people who love adventure, suspense, and magic.
