Jack and Annie travel back to colonial times where they run into George Washington about to cross the Delaware to go to battle.
This is one of the better series for kids new to chapter books. Osborne sets a perfect pacing and excitement level for her age group and does a good job of bringing in vocabulary (slosh is the word that sticks out in my mind) and history. Yes, it's a little cheerful and simple but also fitting for the age group. Plus she quoted Thomas Paine. When wa...more

The Magic Tree House series is a great historical fiction that allows the students to make connections with the two young characters and allows the teacher to get historical information out to the children with better understanding on the event. A T chart could be used for students to identify what they think is fiction and what is non-fiction. This book is at a reading level of 7-9. This is a chapter book that offers some illustrations for a transitional reader. I love reading Magic Tree House...more
There are so many retellings of key moments in the American revolutionary war that the battlefield must have been littered with ancestors of celebrities and time travelers. There doesn't seem to be much room left for the people who were actually there. Add to the list now Jack and Annie as they visit in Revolutionary War on Wednesday.

Jack and his little sister Annie are two regular kids from Frog Creek, Pennsylvania... until they discover a mysterious tree house full of all sorts of books. From that point on their lives will never be the same again! They soon go on amazing adventures (plus children are learning bits of history and most don't realize it) as they travel through time with the help of the magic tree house. The chapters are short with pictures every few pages, making these books perfect for the beginning reader.
This book had little of my interest as a 9 year old, but when I read it again as a 19 year old, I understood a lot more of it and really saw things from a better point of view. Sometimes it just helps to re-read books you knew when you were young to appreciate them a whole lot more.
I almost wished that Jack and Annie could have revealed their secret to George Washington, but that would have destroyed many things in many ways and possible could have changed history in and amongst itself...more

My generic review for the Magic Tree House books -
We've loved them all so far. They are fun, easy to read and contain quite a bit of historical information. We use them as read-alouds, but most elementary/middle school kids could read them on their own.
It does have a touch of 'girl power' at the expense of making the brother seem a little dumb. That kinda bugs. But it's not obvious and my boys haven't noticed. They think Jack is just as cool as his sister.

I read this to Jac today. I cried at the part where Jack and Annie are trying to encourage Washington to go forward with his plan to attack Trenton Christmas night. In reality, Washington turned to Thomas Paine's words for his encouragement and inspiration. Words can be so powerful. I can't believe they staked their lives on such odds. I'm forever grateful and humbled that they did.
IT IS A DRARK AND SNOWY NIGHT WHEN THE MAGIC TREE HOUSE WHISKS JACK ANAD ANIE BACK TO COLOIALTIMES.GENERAL ARMY IN A ATTACK AGAINST THEIR ENEMY.BUT NOW THE TERRIBLE WEATHER IS MAKING THE GREAT GENERAL QUESTIONHIS PLANS.CAN JACKAND ANNIE KEEP HISTORY ON TRACK?THE FATEOF THE CONTRY RESTS IN THEIR HANDS!
This book is About a boy and a girl named Jack and Annie and they travel back in time when George Washington was crossing the Delaware River one of the soilders gave them a note to take to his children if their mission did not work. If you want to know what happens next you can vist your local library!!!

A cute fantasy adventure. Not my favorite because it didn't have the element of vague possibility that Osborne's books usually have, or quite the emotional impact of the books where the kids interact with people more. It was nice to see the writings of Thomas Paine featured.

The US army was losing the war so George Washington went on a secret mission to capture the Hessians, German soldiers hired by the British to fight for them, on Christmas night. That caught them off guard and it was a great victory for the patriots!

Book #22 in the Magic Tree House Series. After having read 22 of them, they do tend to have a formula to them, but I really liked this one - must have something to do with George Washington leading his men to victory after crossing the Delaware!
Jack and Annie traveled to the time of the Revolutionary War. Jack and Annie snuck onto General George Washington's boat and crossed the Deleware River with the General. The General was not happy when he discovered them.
Another great book in the series I read with my students. Again I'm amazed at how the author adds some details of the real event into the book. It gets some of my students interested enough to do a little research.
This book is great because it's interactive and fun in a story format while also informing the students of important events in the American Revolution. It would be appropriate for kids to read at any age.
I'm obviously too old for these books, [I'm 16] but they're like a guilty pleasure. I'm rating it three stars because they are basic and repetitive. However, they're great books for little kids!
Same thing with the last magic tree house book my kids had a hard time paying attention. I also didnt like the part where jack and annie met George Washington. Its was just a little wierd.
I was hoping it would be an easy read with some good history for my low readers. It was an easy read but not much history or excitement. Judy Moody Declares her Independence was better.
I love this book because we just learned about the Revolutionary War in school and I can really relate to it like Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense and that was in the book and George Washington was in the book too

If you read it, you think you're in it, because it is amazing. So, the boat cracks. George Washington helped Jack and Annie get back home. I really liked it, baby!
This is an interesting story in the Magic Tree House series. It's book #2 in a mini-series where Jack and Annie have to get four things to save Camelot. This mini-series isn't quite as engaging as some of the others we've read, but we are eager to read the next one anyway.
i have read just about every tree house book there is. this is one of my favorites. this is all about washington crossing the delaware river and invading a british camp
I absolutely LOVED the series when I was a kid, and I still do! I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy / adventure books!! :)
They helped George Washington by giving him courage to go fight. There was this pledge and they said it to him to help give him courage.
I thought this book was amazing because they got to see President George Washington and they helped his army win the war.
These Magic Tree House books are good for the younger reader. The premise is simple, two children (Jack and Annie) find a treehouse which can travel back in time as long as a book on the period is available. They then live part of the book they are using. Each one has easily digested facts about the time and place the two children travel to.

They have a big war and they are going on a secret mission. The kids aren't aloud because they might mess it up.
Nice read - the Magic Tree House books are great and best of all - my son loves them.
