1-3Magic Tree House series.
Illustrated by
Sal Murdocca.
This go-around, tree house–transported siblings Jack and Annie must remove a spell cast on Merlin's penguin, so they travel back in time to 1600s India in search of an emerald stone. Osborne delivers what she always does: a fast-paced, blandly written adventure that doubles as a history lesson. As usual, Murdocca's serene black-and-white illustrations make the fantastical seem accessible.
