Summary: Jack and Annie are on another adventure and in this book… they visit the Middle Ages! On their visit, they meet knights but once again, Jack and Annie find themselves in a predicament. How are they going to get back home?

In the classroom: Although the Magic Tree House books are not some of the most informational books, they do encourage creativity and thinking outside the box. I would use this series in my classroom for students that do not have much of an interest in reading. A book like this may be just the right tool to get them to love reading!
