The book I read today was number 15. It was about a brother and sister named Jack and Annie. Morgan gave them another mission to go to an island when the seas were filled with Vikings. She gave them a mission to find a secret story. The title of the story was called "Serpens Magma". When they went in the tree house they first waved good bye to Morgan.The tree house spun faster and faster them came to a halt. When they came out of the tree house they were in a island. They came out the tree house then two monks named Brother Patrick and Brother Michel both greeted Jack and Annie then took them inside a hut as big as a beehive. When Jack and Annie came in the hut they already got relaxed. Brother Patrick showed Jack and Annie his book he made with decorations all over the cover. And you know what, the story they were looking for was right in that book. Jack was surprised. So was Annie. Brother Patrick gave them his book that he made so they can remember the two monks.When they went in to the tree house Jack saw three Viking ships. He and Annie went to warn the monks then the monks warned the people. Jack and Annie went in a boat to go back to the magic tree house but then the waves started acting up. Annie wished for some help then her wish came true. A giant sea monster carried them to their tree house then they were safe. That was the book I read today
The book that I read today was about a brother and sister named jack and Annie. In the morning, jack and Annie went to the tree house. When they got there, Morgan lee fe was waiting for them. She had another mission for them to go to. She wanted them both to find a secret book that contained very important treasures. When they got in the book, Annie an jack found out that the seas where filled with Viking ships. When they saw the Vikings they where frightened, but the Vikings where nice. They both asked the Vikings if they know that secret book that Morgan was talking about. They said yes, but they wouldn't hand it to them. So Annie told jack that they would take it from the Vikings and hurry into the treehouse. It was dangerous to do that but they did it anyway. So, they found out that the book was hidden in their ship on the deck because one of the Vikings dropped it. They quickly picked it up and went to the tree house, but Vikings where chasing after them which was really scary. They got to the treehouse in time and left in a jiffy. They handed the book to Morgan. Annie said that the book they went into was really scary, but at least they where safe and sound at their home. The end.
I like the book because I happened to learn about the dark ages. In this book Annie and Jack goes back in time.In this story Jack and Annie go to the dark age to find a book ,and a island.There they find brother Patrick .He is the one who showed the other monk and the island and warned them about the vikings.When the tell them about the book they need the monk was trouble.When they asked why he said it was not finished.they stared leaving they saw the viking ships coming.Can Jack and Annie get the book leave and warn the village in time before they came? Read the book to find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 7-year old checked this out of the school library and read it on his own. I asked him if he understood all the words and he said "well I'm not sure of some, but I just try or make them up" (I indicated he could ask me or a brother for help *Ü*). Upon finishing the book, I asked him which was his favorite so far, and he said this on. He said the sea monster was actually good, and he showed me a part of the book that talked about an experience in book 1 (I do like that he is making these connections). So not one I read myself, but 4-star according to my son.

*Sigh* I wish I could have or make one of those beautiful painted manuscripts of the "Dark Ages".I've seen only one in person and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. They truly were a work of art, which most people don't even know or think about :(I've been into the whole How To Train Your Dragon francise right now, so it was fun to read more about Vikings with more factual information. Though, it was very little in this book this time.The story was more about the Irish monks way of living. Which was interesting in and of itself, but I wanted a liiiitle more about the Vikings hahaLike in the last Magic Tree House book, it's sad how many stories have been lost in history, but...at least the ones we still have still facinate many people even today :)I hope to write a strong story like those one day :)Keep reading kids, these books are great ;) Would recommend to any child, even struggling readers.
