Editorial Reviews
What if one of history's greatest discoveries began with a curious young girl searching for fossils along a stormy coastline?
In this brand-new, full-color Magic Tree House adventure, Jack and Annie travel back to 1812 on an important mission: to find a historical hero who can inspire the young people of Camelot and help preserve the magic of curiosity and courage.
But their journey takes a dangerous turn when they arrive on a crumbling cliffside in the middle of a thunderstorm. Fortunately, they are rescued by Mary Anning, a young fossil hunter whose determination and passion for discovery make her extraordinary.
Although Mary comes from a poor family and faces challenges of her own, she eagerly offers to help Jack and Annie find a great explorer. As the siblings get to know her, they begin to discover that remarkable heroes do not always come from the places we expect.
Inspired by the real-life pioneering fossil hunter Mary Anning, this adventure introduces young readers to the fascinating world of fossils, prehistoric discoveries, and the importance of scientific curiosity.
Combining time travel, historical adventure, and an encouraging message about resilience and friendship, this latest installment of Mary Pope Osborne's beloved series celebrates the courage to follow one's passions despite difficult circumstances.
Why we recommend it: The Magic Tree House series makes history accessible and exciting for young readers. This adventure is particularly appealing because it introduces Mary Anning, a remarkable figure in the history of paleontology, while encouraging children to ask questions, persevere through challenges, and recognize that even young people can make important discoveries.
