|
In their first adventure as Master Librarians, Jack and Annie go to the
city of Pompeii to bring back an ancient story that is in danger of being lost
forever. Little do they know they are saving the myth of Hercules! But before
they can find it, the town's volcano erupts in a mighty explosion. Just when
things look hopeless, Jack and Annie get some unexpected help from a certain
mythic hero - and the rest, as they say, is history.

What Customers Say About Vacation Under the Volcano (Magic Tree House, No. 13):

My 9 yr old son loves the Magic Tree House series. He has also learned various interesting historical facts concerning the book's theme. I've purchased every book and have also pre-ordered books that will be released in Sept. When he's finished with each story, he gives my husband and I an oral book report. According to my son, there are clues throughout the stories and always a moral/lesson at the end of each story. The thing that I find funny is that he has learned that boys AND girls can actually be buddies and it's not creepy.
It's become a great tradition for them, and something they both look forward to. My four year old son is in love with this chapter series. We love that there are so many in the collection. A friend suggested it to us since he seemed ready for a more advanced reading material at bedtime. My husband reads him a chapter every night.sometimes more because they don't want to stop. Start with number 1 and just continue. :)
My daughter could not put this book down once she started reading it. She loves the MAGIC TREE HOUSE series so much.
Wow. It really puts kids in the moment of the time period. We paired this with the Discovery Kids Magazine on Pompeii and found out that this book is a great way to find out about Pompeii and what happened, not just as a tourist attraction. Talk about subject integration. Every detail, down to the arrangement of the city was accurate. You can actually find a map replicating Pompeii and show your child where Jack and Annie went. You know it is a great book when you can go down the list of Bloom's Taxonomy and use the book to create activities for every level. We are leaving today to buy every book in the series.Perfect for homeschooling.
My 1st grader hates to put them down, he would rather read Magic Tree House books, than play video games. He even reads them to his class and explains the story for show and tell. When he was in kindergarten, the teacher would also let him read the Magic Tree House books out loud, not given her a break, but to promote reading out loud. Great books.
