“Magic Tree House Pirates Past Noon”Jack and Annie go back in time to the time when pirates were abundant. A parrot was above the tree house watching them. When Jack and Annie leave the tree house, Jack forgets his backpack and has to return for it. When he runs back for it, he is captured by three pirates; the captain and two mates. Annie tries to help, but ends up getting captured. They accused Jack and Annie of stealing their treasure. The mates go to the tree house to investigate and only see a medallion. The captain sees it and accuses Jack and Annie of stealing their treasure.He has a map that none of them can read. Jack fortunately is able to read and says,” if you let me go, I will help you.” The captain agrees to let Jack go, but only until he has the treasure in his hands will he fully be free. They go to another island and there is a threat of a bad storm. When they get to the island, they all look for the treasure and start digging. It starts raining and the two mates left the captain, because the storm was so bad. The captain threw the medallion in the hole and Jack went after it. The parrot comes back and Jack and Annie chase the parrot to the tree house and return back to Pennsylvania. The parrot transforms into a person, Morgan LaFay. She tells them that because Annie believes in magic and Jack likes reading they were able to discover the tree house, because no one else could see it. They give Morgan the bookmark (the one they found in the knight’s castle) and the medallion. Morgan disappears and Jack reaches into his pocket and discovers he has the medallion. Annie says Morgan will be back.The main characters are Jack and Annie. Jack loves to read and Annie has a good imagination and also believes in magic. Annie is outgoing, and Jack is reserved and quiet. Jack and Annie care about other people, because they remind the captain to be nicer to his mates.The story takes place when pirates were popular. The main location is a sea. The story also takes place on a tropical island. The primary theme for the reader to take away from this story is to be nice to people even if they might be mean to you, because they might learn a lesson about how they treat others. For instance, the captain was mean to his mates and when they left he realized he was too hard on them.I would recommend this book to boys and girls who like adventure, history, problem-solving, and stories with a lesson because all of these books have these elements in them.
“Pirates Past Noon,” was the fourth book in the Magic Treehouse series. It was a chapter book written by Mary Pope Osborne. It starts off like all of the other books when Jack and Annie went out to the Frog Creek woods and got into the treehouse. Since it was raining out, Annie grabbed the book with the beach and wished they could go there. When they got there, they are captured by pirates and held hostage until they showed the pirates where the treasure was. The pirates thought Jack knew where it was because of the gold medallion around his neck. They believed it came from Cap’n Kidd’s treasure. On the way to find the treasure, Jack and Annie escaped back to the treehouse to go home. As they got to the treehouse Jack realized that he forgot the book onshore and the pirates were catching up to them. Jack hurried back to grab the book and they arrived home safely.The two main characters in the book are Jack and Annie. Jack is more intelligent of the two and is always looking out for his little sister, Annie. Annie is more adventurous and is always getting into trouble and/or chasing things. The two always solve the problems they need to together with great teamwork. The book begins in Jack and Annie’s house in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania. Then, goes off to the treehouse and eventually to the beach. The time period takes place in present time, but they go back in time when Annie wishes to go to the beach. This happened to be when pirates were around. They are on a boat at sea for most of the time and at the end they are back on the beach where the treehouse and treasure are. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book about the history of pirates and treasure. I would also recommend this book to elementary school kids who like this series. This book is short and easy to read. I rate this a four out of five, because it is more interesting than the other Magic Treehouse books.

Magic tree house book #4 pirates past noon by mary pope osborne. My favorite part pirates past noon was chapter 1, when its raining and they magic tree house starts shaking and they go it to the island. the book reminded me of in spongebob squarepants where patrick and spongebob squarepants goes in the box and starts imaging that they go to places. i made a prediction that the pirates were going to lose jack and annie while chasing them for being on island. i wonder why they made a series about 2 kids going on adventures. my favorite charcter is jack because he's the boy and like takes cares of his sister which i pretty much do to my brother. i will recommend this book to other students because it is a really great series, and good author. i was confused why the parrot keep saying TOO LATE!!!!! i knew most of the words in the book so it was easy for to understand and it was ajust right book for me. i think the author wrote this book because when she was a kid she wanted to doall this stuff. there was no problems in this book. after reading this book i felted like i was in the book. i was surpised when they found the m that it was a girl named morgan. the part i really pictured in my head was the book cover. i want to read other books by this author because this book was exicting. i liked the ending because the end up with lots of treasure. i notice lots of simile in this book. the theme in this story is about 2 kids who go in a magic tree house and go to anicent places or famous tragics and famous places.the last sentence on this book is "the had treasure at home a ton of it everwhere ".

★★★★★Pirates Past Noon by Mary Pope OsborneWe love the Magic Tree House Series. They are easy, read chapter books. My daughter really likes when I read these to her, because I put so much enthusiasm in them.(view spoiler)[This is book 4 in the series. It starts on as any rainy day, until Jack and Annie, get to the tree house. They look through the books and see one with a beautiful ocean, and are magically transported there. As the go down to the beach, they see a ship with a pirate flag, and realize they are in trouble. Before they can escape, they are captured by Cap'n Bones, who is mean, and calls them lubbers. He wants the Kidd's gold and will stop at nothing, but will he ever get it... (hide spoiler)]

This is an adult review of a kiddy book, so sorry if I offend. The first part was fun, as always. The pirates had a fun twist with the strange friend/animal helping them out. Not all answers are answered at the end of this story. That mysterious chest is left behind, unopened, what's that all about? Will future books return to books already visited? Interesting story line.NOW HERE'S THE HUGE SPOILER, SO DON'T READ ON IF YOU WANT TO BE...SURPRISEDSo the kids return as they always do, but the parr
