We are new to the Magic Tree House books, an extremely popular series that follows Jack and Annie as they read their way to adventures, and my older boys are already hooked. And why not? The books are fast-paced (even I want to know what happens next) and they seamlessly tie in history and facts to the delight of both of them.

Each book centers around a boy-friendly theme, so whether your son is into dinosaurs, knights, ninjas, mummies, pirates, or astronauts, he will be fascinated.

These chapter books are perfect for beginning and emerging readers.
