As the most recent addition to the Magic Tree House: Merlin’s Mission series, Lincoln at Last serves as not only a fictionalized look into what the times were like when Abraham Lincoln was in office, but also at his harsh childhood and how his character developed from a young age. Annie and Jack’s journey in this book first takes them to the White House where they unknowingly befriend Lincoln’s sons, which seems historically accurate in that Willie and Tad’s personalities are fleshed so fully i...more
Jake and Annie are on a mission-- Teddy has put a spell on Merlin's penguin penny and needs Jack and Annie to break it by finding objects through history. They head out one morning before school and end up at the White House, where they need to meet with Lincoln.

Sam agrees to introduce them to Lincol...more

Allright, first and foremost this is very much a fantasy story set with a nearly entirely American theme. Mary Pope Osborne is an American from the state of Conneticut, and this book is all about how Jack and Annie from Frog Creek, PA go into their treehouse to provide America's iconic president, Abraham Lincoln, with a feather quill. The quill will act plot device to move the storyline forward and provide Mr. Lincoln with inspiration to maintain the course, write his great speeches at many batt...more
I think being the child of a Civil War buff hurt my enjoyment of this book as I have been to many historical Lincoln locations and heard about Lincoln's family so much. Some of the facts were bothering me from page 5 with overgeneralization (Lincoln on his own could not outlaw slavery).
I was also surprised Jack didn't take any real fact notes in this book and how little he knew about Abe Lincoln. I was expecting him to supply information and help puzzle things out. Most of my previous exposure...more

First Jack and Annie don't know that Tad and Willie, two boys they've met on the White House lawn, are President Lincoln's sons. Then they don't understand that "Sam," a boy they meet in the countryside, is really a young Abraham Lincoln. However, all comes out right in the end when Lincoln gives the time traveling pair a feather they need to complete their mission, and they in turn give him a written message of hope. Children will need to read the nonfiction companion rather than this to learn...more
A continuation of the Merlin Series where brother and sister Jack and Annie travel back to 1861 a week after the Lincolns have moved into the White House just prior to the Civil War. The siblings are on a quest to find an item to break a spell cast on their friend Merlin’s penguin Penny - - a feather, which they are supposed to retrieve from President Lincoln himself and “use it wisely to give him hope – the hope he needs to heal his land.” As soon as they arrive in Washington, D. C., they meet...more
More Jack and Annie. The challenge of this book is for our time-travelling heroes to bring hope to a worried President Lincoln as he sets-out to start his presidency. This has a few first, including the first by stander to get into the treehouse (Tad Lincoln's kinda brat), and the first time-travel within a time-travel episode (very "Inception" Ms. Osborne).
When all's said and done though, if I was travelling back in time to meet Abe Lincoln, I'm not sure that could restrain myself from telling...more

This review is from my son. (We read the story together.)
I really like Jack and Annie books. My favorite ones are about the Civil War and the Revolutionary War, but this one is good too. I didn't know Abe Lincoln liked to play practical jokes. He pretends his name is Sam when he's a kid, and Jack and Annie don't know it's really Abraham Lincoln. It was cool that President Lincoln gave them the feather pen, and they gave him a message of hope.

Jack and Annie are back at it - traveling through time in their magical tree house. This time they meet Abraham Lincoln as a boy and man. Their mission is to collect something from the past to help Merlin. They don't know what that thing is, but they are used to this kind of adventure. Along the way, readers will learn about Abraham Lincoln, the start of the Civil War, life in a log cabin and much more.

This is the 47th book in the Magic Tree House series and the third of four books in this Merlin Missions mini-series where Jack and Annie go on four quests to get items to help save Penny the penguin. If you aren't already a fan, I recommend that you start the series at the beginning, or at least at book #29 when the "Merlin Missions" begin.

Jack and Annie are on a mission to find a feather, so they are taken back in time to when Abraham Lincoln was President, but that wasn’t back far enough. They go back even farther too where Lincoln took his horse rides.
I enjoyed tho book because it allowed the reader to see Lincoln as a child. This is especially important I think because the Magic Tree House series is aimed for children.

Abe Lincoln at Last is an outstanding book by one of my favorite authors Mary Pope Osborne. It's about a boy and a girl named Jack and Annie who travel back into the 1800's when Abe Lincoln was president. Their mission is to find a bottle of ink and a feather given to them by the president. Read the book and see if they can find the stuff. By Joseph.
In the 47th Magic Tree House book, Jack and Annie go back in time to meet Abraham Lincoln. Although there aren’t that many facts, it was enjoyable both for me and my kids. The story sparked an interest in my little ones to want to learn more about Abraham Lincoln & his children. And that’s the point of these children’s books aren’t they?
Abe Lincoln At Last! is a great book for readers of all ages. In this Magic Treehouse book, Jack and Annie use the treehouse to go back in time and visit Abraham Lincoln at the White house. Along the way, they bump into a few hurdles and meet a few new friends. This book is fantastic and will keep you reading until the last page!
I read this book with my daughter since we are studying about Abraham Lincoln. She enjoyed it and love the story but it was lacking a lot of detail about his life I was hoping to gain. We are going to start Abraham Lincoln fact tracker that goes along with this book and hopefully it will fill in the gap.
Again another good book in the series. I keep reading and enjoying them though they are far too simple for me or my students. However, I am invested in the series and want to keep reading to be sure that each new mystery is solved and not left hanging.
latest Magic Tree House book with Jack and Annie and featuring Abe Lincoln. Jack and Annie travel to Washington DC as the Civil War is going on. They are trying to get an item for an ongoing story line in the series when they meet the President.
That it was a good book and it had nice characters in it (Tad was funny)! It had a good prank in it. It had a nice ending. The mission was cool! I learned that you should always help others.
Mary Pope Osborne O how I love you so! In this Magic Tree House adventure Jack and Annie are 3/4 of the way done on their mission to help Teddy reverse a spell that turned Merlin the Magicians beloved penguin Penny to stone. Their clue this time is to go back in time and be given a feather from a hero's hand, than use that same feather to give that hero hope. Confusing much? Yes! And of course you will have to read to find out how Jack and Annie solve that riddle. However i'll give you a hint, (...more
Trying to catch up on the Magic Tree house series. I was a little surprised there was time travel within time travel in this book and without the tree house for the second time.
This is a good book because it has some information on Abraham Lincoln. It also has pictures sometimes which is nice to get a better idea of what is happening in the book.
I had never read one of the Magic Tree House books (this is #47) written for early readers. I was delighted. Osborne integrates history for children in a fantasy story-line.
To be able to go back in time and meet Abe Lincoln...that would be amazing. I like how Jack and Annie meet him as an adult and then as a child. Very well written.
Great children's book. Annie and jack must get to see mr. Lincoln. Through a little magic and/or time travel they are able to provide a message of hope to the President.
This was one of my least favorite in the series. Limited historical information, and the kids didn't seem nearly as intelligent as they did in others I have read.
Book 47 in this series. Loved this one just like the others. If you haven't tried the seires out, it's wonderful. Give it a read.
#44 in the Magic Tree House series. You've gotta love books about Lincoln and his boys. I loved how this one also allowed the readers to meet Abraham Lincoln as a young boy who enjoyed playing tricks on others!!
