Jack and Annie must go on another Merlin Mission. Penny, the abandoned penguin which they saved on a previous mission and gave to Merlin as a present, has accidentally been turned into a stone statue by their young sorcerer friend Teddy, and they need to find four things to break the spell. They have just returned from finding the first one, an emerald rose from Mogul India. Now they must find a white and yellow flower and live its meaning for an hour. But the Magic Tree House takes them to the...more
This book is a part of the Merlin Missions. It tells the story of Jack and Annie traveling to the Swiss Alps to retrieve the second thing to break the spell the baby penguin, Penny, is under. When an avalanche buries Jack and Annie, Monks from the St. Bernard Monastery rescue the two. “The second thing to break the spell is a white and yellow flower. Live its meaning for yourself, if only for an hour.” Jack thought about how no flower could live in these cold conditions, but he was determined to...more

We have loved the Merlin Missions stories as well as the original Magic Tree House books. We have read them all and are also reading the Research Guides (now called Fact Tracker books) as well.
We eagerly awaited the publication of this book, but for some reason we just didn't read it as fast as I thought we would. Part of the reason behind it is that we owned the book while we always have a bunch of library books that we need to read and return. I purchased it for our girls at their elementary s...more

I like this book because there is a dog in it named Barry. I know there is a dog named Barry in this book because in page 1 it states, Jack and Annie have a new mission. They must find a rare flower to save one of their best friends! So when the magic tree house whisks them back in time to the Swiss Alps, they're confused. How can they find a flower buried under ice and snow? Jack thinks their mission is hopeless! When they find an ancient monastery where monks and St.Bernards live. Annie gets...more
I've been meaning to put the whole Jack and Annie ouevre into Goodreads for a while.
May absolutely loves these books. At 3 chapters a night, they tend to last for just under a week, providing a nice pause in longer collections.
My geeky/pulpy side likes recognizing all the tropes without the author following convention slavishly. I have a theory that Morgan LeFay (the magical librarian of Camelot and creator of the magic treehouse) is secretly a Time Lord and the treehouse is her TARDIS (bigger o...more

Dogs in the Dead of Night is an awesome book. Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House series has really cool books and they teach you different stuff. This book was her latest one. Abe Lincoln at at Last is coming in December 2011. Dogs in the Dead of Night is about Jack and Annie go to a Monks church and they have to train a Saint Bernard before he has to leave to a different place away the Monks church. The Monks church is in the Alps and there are a lot of avalanches so that's why there are Sain...more
Not quite as chock-full of facts as normal perhaps, but full of adorable dogs, which makes up for it. And trying to convey a love of dogs is a worthy goal in and if itself, not to mention the idea that dogs can be such important helpers and heroes to people. Rescue, assistance and therapy dogs are so important. I loved reading in the author's note that Barry was based on a real dog.

Jack and Annie are now on another mission to go into the himalayas to help out at a monistary and to find a soldier named Napolean. When they find the monistary they meet a dog named Berry, who is a saint bernard. The monks tell them that they are having trouble with Berry and that he is to rowdy.
While Jack thinks that helping to train the dog is going to be a complete waste of time, Annie wants to help the dog. Can Jack and Annie Help train Berry and finish their mission, or will they be stuck...more

We are now in the early chapter book stage. The book was fun to read and my daughter really enjoyed it. It was a little less enjoyable because this is the first Magic Tree House book we are reading and it's in the middle of a large story arc.
Fun characterization of the dogs and the little historical cameos are a bit fun.

#46 of 50 (so far) Although as of this writing #50 is three months from being released. These are wonderful stories and this one is no different. The adventures are all different and the story just gets better with each books. Check this series out. Even though it's for younger readers, everyone should try this series. :)
#46 in Magic Tree House. They are predictable but my son loves them and so we continue reading. This one is set in Switzerland with St. Bernard dogs. When I read that the dog Barry is based on a real St. Bernard that rescued so many people that the monks in this particular monastery always had a dog named Barry around after his death. Also, I would love to be a dog for an hour and see what my dog would say to me!! Hee! Hee!
This one was really good. It got my son into thinking about the Alps and we had to look up The St. Bernard Pass to see what it and the Alps really looked like, especially compared to the mountains we live in. It's always a good book when he's trying to guess the next things that Jack and Annie have to do or prompting questions from him about if Napoleon was real and are the monks still there.
The Magic Treehouse series are great books for children starting chapter books. The stories are imaginative and educational, and the writing is simple with some exposure to new. larger words. I like that the books are innocent fun for my six year old, and I don't have to be concerned about the content.
Interesting connections to historical facts. The mystery will keep young readers guessing until the plot twists at the end. Mary Pope Osbourne gives enough details to keep kids guessing. This will be a fun one to share with the kids as a read aloud on the Kindle App displayed on the ActiveBoard.

marked it as to-read
I'm putting this book on my to-read list as a reminder to request it from the library for my 7 year old son when it comes out. He's loved books 1-43, he's only got a couple more to go, and then we must wait...
Very nice story about Annie and Jack's encounter with St. Bernard Dogs. I can't think of any recent story for kids that have covered these magnificent dogs, so I'm glad to see one come along.
Again another good one in the series! I especially enjoyed this one as it took place in Switzerland and in the Alps, one of my favorite places to visit!
What can you say, it's Magic Tree House. Not exactly great children's literature. But the kids loved it and the story was fun. Jack and Annie seem to be growing up a bit, getting a little sarcastic and snarky with each other.
Jack and Annie get to turn themselves into dogs for an hour. Jack learns important things, and so does Barry, the St. Bernard.
I totally loved this book! Especially the part when they turn into a dog, now that was cool!
Not one of my favorites in the series. I feel like there wasn't really all that much to learn in this one. I think the other Tree House books are much more educational.
My six and eight year old LOVE the Magic Tree House series, and this newest book doesn't disappoint. In each adventure Jack and Annie go to some point in time on a mission in the magic tree house. Fun facts are mixed with a magical story.
Jack and annie go to the swiss alps. There they get caught in an avalanche. Dogs find them and take them to a monastery.
Haven't read these for a while but I couldn't resist a story about the Alps and Saint Bernards.

I liked this book because it has lots of dogs and I like dogs.
I'm trying to catch up on the Magic Tree House Books!
What a cute story! We are loving the magic tree house books and especially the Merlin Missions. I didn't know there was a monastery in the Alps that trains St Bernard's. My boys love reading the factual parts of these books. Bless you Mary Pope Osborne for making them curious to discover more!
Learn many new things that I haven't notice before.
