Ghost Town at Sundown is one of my top three favorites in the Magic Treehouse series. This story is greatly written by an awesome author, Mary Pope Osborne. She definitely knows how to write adventure stories.

This was another really good one, although I could've lived without the ghost appearance. The time travel paradox got a little lip service in this one which was fun. My son thought that was cool too.
This is the second Magic Tree House book that I read with my son (age 6).
This story has Morgan Le Fey sending Jack and Annie back in time to an Old West ghost town to answer a riddle. It doesn't take long until they are in the midst of an adventure involving horse-thieves, cowboys, mustangs, and even a ghostly piano player named Lonesome Luke. The ending includes a good old-fashioned time-travel paradox.
This story wasn't as intense as the previous one I read (set on the Titanic), but it left a bit more space for character development, and I felt like I got a better sense of the characters of Jack and Annie.
The riddle used in the story was clever and age-appropriate, and the inclusion of the lyrics to the a song that figures into the plot was a nice touch.
My son enjoyed the book, and I won't be surprised if the next book he brings home from his school library is another in the Magic Treehouse series.

This one was a little more exciting than some of the others, and having the children meet a person when they traveled was a nice twist. Good into to Wild West history.
This book was a great read to see what I thought of the book a long time ago and looking at the book now.. I enjoy Ed rereading this book and pointing out points of info that when I was a kid didn't find as often.
4.0 out of 5 stars
I didn’t get the riddle until the end but an interesting read
