I really loved this Magic Treehouse book. I even learned new things reading it to my five year old.

At least they followed the instructions to a T this time. I was worried that they wouldn't be able to learn from it and make more mistakes. It was interesting how they met up with someone they had already met though.

Jack and Annie travel to Baghdad in the golden age of the Caliphate where they help deliver a treasured text to the Caliph, dealing with bandits, sandstorms, and a pair of not-always-cooperative camels.
The bandit raid takes place mostly "off-screen", although I must admit to having a voice in my head yelling "roll for initiative!" when the bandits make their appearance.
This story went for some major plot twists, which my son enjoyed when we read this together. I could see them coming, but they were still generally satisfying and fun.
The historical details were good, and this was an interesting setting to explore.

Sometimes we have to indulge our inner child! I work in a school, and support kids during a read to self time, so I thought I'd be an example and read one of their classroom books. It was so fun - I never got the chance to read Magic Tree House as a kid

Very well written, a little scary in a couple places.

Jack and Annie travel back in time to a desert in the Middle East at the behest of Merlin who has given them a rhyme to help on their mission. There they meet a Bedouin tribe and learn about the way that they live. From camel rides and oases to ancient writings and dangerous sandstorms, here’s another Magic Tree House filled with all the mystery, history, magic, and old-fashioned adventure that kids love to read about.
