Magic Tree House- Night of the New Magicians

Magic Tree House- Night of the New Magicians
By Mary Pope Osborne
2006

Jack and Annie have experienced many, many great adventures from magical librarian Morgan le Fay’s magic tree house, usually at the request of Merlin from Camelot.  One this particular adventure the duo are sent to the 1889 World Fair in Paris to find The Magician of Sound, The Magician of Light, The Magician of the Invisible, and the Magician of Iron to warn them about the evil sorcerer who wants to steal their secrets. Jack and Annie are asked to learn about their secrets for Merlin. Soon we learn that the Magician of Sound is Alexander Graham Bell, the Magician of Light is Thomas Edison, the Magician of the Invisible is Louis Pasteur and the Magician of Iron is Gustave Eiffel!! 

I have loved the Magic Tree House adventures with my own children.  It was so neat to see how jack and Annie have evolved through the years and how the author, Mary Pope Osborne keeps their adventures fresh and new!  I really appreciate how this particular adventure linked itself to real people in our history.
