Rate this book
Seatbelts, everyone! The Magic School Bus is back and ready to ride again. A book in Spanish!

Professor Frizzle's kid sister Fiona might be the new teacher at Walkerville Elementary, but she's got the same old motto: take chances, make mistakes, and get messy! When the class decides to go to Hawaii for their latest fieldtrip, they think they're in for rest, relaxation, and riding the waves. But when Wanda tries to save an endangered fish from a giant shark, its Wanda that needs saving. Luckily her own class learns something from a totally different type of school--fish!

¡Abróchense los cinturones de seguridad! El autobús mágico está de regreso y listo para volver a despegar. ¡Un libro en español!

La nueva maestra de la Escuela de Walkerville, no tiene miedo de arriesgarse, cometer errores y embarrarse. Cuando la clase decide ir a Hawái, los chicos piensan que les espera el descanso y surfear, pero no es así. ¡Vivirán una aventura submarina!

96 pages, Paperback

I think the book was a 5 star book because they got to go into the Ocean 🌊.

Translation: I like this so much. I can't wait for another book. I liked the fish mobile and when everyone helped Wanda. They had alot of fun. I hope you read it too.

Arely and I read this together. I am never a fan of these formulaic books that are written for young people, but the kids seem to really enjoy them. I would rather read Magic School Bus over other types of books like these though, such as goosebumps, etc. There is some good educational information in this book about the ocean and sharks, but overall it is not a story that excites and sometimes I felt like I was just reading the works but not absorbing the story to get through it. Arely seemed to enjoy it but didn't seem really excited about.

91 page Branches early chapter book. Large print with black and white illustrations on every page. Science vocabulary is defined by Dorothy Ann as usual and the students all work together to learn and solve the problem. These books aren't packed with extra information sidebars like the picture books were.

The 4 stars rating is from my boys: 6 and 4. This magic school bus chapter book was really enjoyed by my kids. I think this series is along the lines of the Wildkrats tv show: entertaining but informational. I won’t mark every book I read in a series, but want to make note of the ones we try, as reading more advanced material with my kids is a priority to me :)

Ms. Frizzle takes the class from Walkerville (which is in the middle of winter) to sunny Hawaii for a field trip for the day. The kids are all playing and having fun on the beach, except Wanda. She is trying to save a fish from a shark. Can she save the fish? Can she save herself?
This book talks about endangered fish and they work together to protect one another.

91 pages. I read 4 chapters/35 pages. It was typical Magic School Bus kind of story/dialogue. Lots of science sprinkled in there. Kids will like it. I will probably buy the whole chapter book series. Recommended for Grades 3-5.

I really liked this book. Liked it sort of like I I like the Magic Treehouse books. They had a lot of vocab word that were really good. Also my daughter loves the Magic School bus so there is that too!

There's a particular style of awful kids book that is basically just screen shots from a tv show and a novelized version of the script. This is exactly that. The new show doesn't hold a candle to the classic, and the new books absolutely stink compared to the old ones!

There's not much to say here - a fun tie-in book that explores science with the characters you know and love. Good for young children.

Fun beginning chapter book tie-in to the Magic School Bus series.
Looking forward to more books in this series for younger readers.
Introduces some science along with the fun.

The Magic School Bus rides again, or swims in this case. Ms Frizzle is back and headed to Hawaii where the class learns more about the ocean and what lives in it.

My 7 year old said he likes these Branches versions of the Magic School Bus books, but prefers the older chapter book versions because they have more science details.

Excellent book series > TV show starring Lily Tomlin > dumbed down book series based on episodes > Netflix revamp starring Kate McKinnon > chapter book series based on episodes.

"Mama, we only have four more pages," said 6yo. "And the rest is just backmatter."
