Summary
Jack and Annie are just regular kids who get transported back to the prehistoric era by a mysterious tree house in the first book of the #1 bestselling chapter book series of all time, trusted by kids, parents, and educators alike!

“Mary Pope Osborne’s best-selling Magic Tree House series [has turned] more kids into readers than just about any other series you can name.”—The New York Times

The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still.

Where did the tree house come from?

Before Jack and his sister, Annie, can find out, the mysterious tree house in the woods whisks them to the prehistoric past, where they encounter a Pteranodon, Anatosaurus, Triceratops, and the notorious T-Rex. Now, they must figure out how to get home safe and sound. Can they do it before dark…or will they become a dinosaur’s dinner?

The Magic Tree House series has been beloved by children, parents, and educators for generations. Packed with fascinating facts and detailed black-and-white illustrations, each unique Magic Tree House adventure is sure to inspire a love of reading—and adventure—in every kid who joins Jack and Annie!

Jack and Annie return to the magic tree house in Book #2: The Knight at Dawn! And don’t miss the graphic novel adaptation of Dinosaurs Before Dark, available now!
