Mary Pope Osborne’s Magic Tree House The Graphic Novel: Midnight on the Moon

Adapted by: Jenny Laird

Illustrated by Kelly & Nichole Matthews

 

This book is the eighth in the series of graphic novels adapted from the Magic Tree house chapter books. Jack and Annie are siblings who have a magic tree house in their backyard. The tree house whisks them away to the moon in the future on a mission to save Morgan. Jack and Annie must find the fourth M thing to break Merlin’s spell which transformed Morgan into Peanut the mouse. This book does not do well as a stand-alone, as the reader never learns how Jack and Annie met Morgan. The end of the book contains an excerpt from the accompanying Fact Tracker: Space, which explains some of the science behind the astronomy covered in the novel. This is a quick read for reluctant readers and would serve as a nice stepping stone to the chapter book, which has the same plot. For ages 6-9.
