Ghost Town at Sundown by Mary Pope Osborne
4.0
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.
