Ghost Town at Sundown (Magic Tree House, #10) by Mary Pope Osborne -- Being in a ghost town at sundown is still on my adult bucket list! Happy Reading!
sometimes you intern for three days in a third grade classroom and read nostalgic books
I would have gone buckwild for this if I had read it as a kid
I am reading these books with a patient, this person has really appreciated reading these books, keeps their mind of the road ahead. great for kids

Oh! We struggled with this one a bit. My kid didn't know much about this horse riding, cow boy thing. I had to elaborate so many things to him which was tiring (for me). Also the pet names shorty and smiley confused him a lot which again raised a ton of interruptions and questions.
SO... it was ok but not a very good smooth sailing read.
Happy reading!!

Ghost Town at Sundown is the second of the four riddles and the tenth book in the Magic Tree House series. In this one, Jack and Annie go back to a ghost town in search of the answer the riddle.
While there they are frightened by a ghost, threatened by horse thieves and befriended by a wrangler of wild mustangs. Jack and Annie learn how to ride horses and Annie once again shows her talent at talking with animals.
Best of all is the time travel aspect of the book. In the other books I've read Jack and Annie's travels have been self contained. Where and when they go don't have any link between the present of their adventure and their present time in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania. In Ghost Town at Sundown, Jack and Annie directly affect their future through their friendship with the wrangler.
The inclusion of the ghost town also gave Sean and me a chance to talk about my favorite ghost town, Bodie, California. We talked about the how and why behind a town being abandoned and what sort of things are left behind.

Slim comes to save Jack and Annie in this western showdown between them and some horse rustlers in the Wild, Wild, West! The kids love it and the ghost piano player as well as learning about what an echo was.
