Narrative As Books Tonight on the Titanic (Magic Tree House #17)
The Kiddo (age 6) brought this home from his school library and I read it out loud to him. He has an interest in the story of the Titanic. This was my first introduction to Mary Pope Osbourne's Magic Tree House series, and I have to say I was impressed.The main characters, Jack and Annie (ages 8 and 7) are "Master Librarians" for a magical treehouse library run by Morgan Le Fey (No, really.). The books in the treehouse allow the kids to travel through time with a few basic anti-paradox rules in place. No bringing anyone back with them, and no changing history. The structure of the series has the kids going on quests that span several books. This volume was the start of one such quest.
When Jack and Annie find a puppy (who they name Teddy) in the treehouse, they also find a message from Morgan Le Fey informing them that the puppy is under a spell and several items are needed to break the enchantment. First on the list: A gift from a ship lost a sea.
One trip through the space-time continuum later, and Jack and Annie find themselves aboard a luxurious ocean liner. The bad news, of course, is that it's the Titanic.
Once things get going, this book is non-stop fun. Osborne manages to keep the level of excitement and imperilment high without even needing a villain. Just a whole lot of mayhem as the minutes tick away and the kids try to find some way to help, even if they can't prevent the inevitable sinking of the ship.
In an introductory message to the readers, Osborne discusses her decision to set a story aboard the Titanic. It was frequently requested by readers, but she was at first reluctant because it was such a tragic story. In the end, she crafted a story that was exciting, but didn't shy away from the sadness of the event.
I'm looking forward to my son bringing home more books in this series.

Jack wakes to the pitter patter of the rain and a brand new adventure with Annie. When Jack and Annie get to the Magic Tree House, a surprise is awaiting them. A dog! A dog is sitting alone in the tree house. At first, they aren't sure why a dog is in the treehouse, but then Jack finds a piece of paper left on the floor by Morgan, a librarian from the time of King Arthur in Camelot. The note told them that the puppy, Teddy, was under a spell and that to release him from his curse, they needed toThis one and the one set in Pompeii right before Vesuvius erupts are a bit harder to get through than the other Magic Tree House books and depending on how well you and your kid deal with tragedies you may want to skip this book. All that being said, the sinking is handled well and isn't sensationalized but still might be traumatic for younger kids.
I can't believe how much my reading skills have gotten better as I grew older. When I read it back in grade 2, I thought it was one of the most complex books I ever read! Loved it then, love it now for all the nostalgia.Also, there's a magic tree house musical??? Why didn't I know about this? Imagine my surprise when I flip to the last page and see that there's a CD available to buy. Huh.
