Magic Tree House #4: Pirates Past Noon

By Mary Pope Osborne

Jack and Annie find themselves on another adventure, starting in the tree house, but soon taking them to an island in the ocean, surrounded by pirates! What will they do? If you’ve read the first three books, you’ll know they’ve had some help along the way, and that there’s a bit of a mystery about who “M” might be. Here’s where you’ll find out who M is, and about the tree house’s magic.

This early chapter book series has a predictable pattern, consistent main characters, and a magical element. What’s not to love? A good simple story line in an easy-to-read chapter book format.
