YOUNGER FICTION
Osborne, Mary Pope

A Crazy Day with Cobras

(4) 1-3 Magic 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.
