One of my favorite of the Magic Tree House books. "Blizzard of the Blue Moon" varies from the typical Magic Tree House format just enough to stay engaging, without completely straying from the series's standard narrative. A bit longer than other books in the series, too.

I know a lot of kids really love this series, but I didn't end up loving it. From what I've read online about the series, I picked up one of the later books in the series; A Merlin Mission.POssibly if I had picked up one of the first ones, I would've been more satisfied. It was definitely ok and I believe kids would still like it, but I didn't see much appeal in it.

I enjoyed the fact that they had something mythical to do this time. It was actually a very interesting one throwing in the other apprentices for them to face. At least they finally got to use the duck spell lol. Looking forward to the next one.

I picked this book up at the store just because I'm still a child at heart and I needed a quick read. Plus, I just love unicorns so I couldn't pass this book up. I ended up ejoying this a lot. It took me about an hour off and on to read and it was worth using up that hour. I recommend this children and parents of children.

What a surprise this turned out to be! For the first time in this series (36 books in!) we've got a pair of recurring villains! And an actual fight scene! No, really. Okay, so no punches are thrown, but Jack and Annie actually get into a brawl of sorts with a pair of evil wizard apprentices.
This was on top of what was already a really interesting mission, sending the kids to New York City in the 1930s to free a unicorn from a spell in the midst of a raging blizzard. The New York landmarks are lovingly described (and beautifully illustrated by artist Sal Murdocca).
A number of plotlines spanning the previous three books are resolved, and there is a really tender scene involving Jack choosing to use one of their magical rhymes.
The unicorn is loads of fun too, and a few plot items that seemed a bit too convenient get nicely wrapped up in a final twist.
Best book I've read in this series so far. My only word of caution would be that this is probably not the best starting point. I'd at least recommend reading a couple of the books that lead directly up to this one (I'd read #'s 33 and 35, plus lots of the earlier ones).
The Kiddo really enjoyed this one too, especially the payoff on a magic rhyme that had been teased through this whole story arc.
