Magic Tree House #38: Monday with a Mad Genius
Jack and Annie receive a message from Morgan le Fay, the magical librarian of Camelot. They know they have to search for one of the four secrets of happiness to help Merlin the magician find joy in his life again. And so they head off in the magic tree house for Florence, Italy, in the early 1500s to spend the day with one of the greatest artists and inventors of all time–Leonardo da Vinci!
Magic Tree House #39: Dark Day in the Deep Sea
Jack and Annie know they have to find one of the four secrets of happiness to help save Merlin the magician. But when the magic tree house whisks them off to a misty island in the middle of nowhere, they wonder how they will find anything. As the fog lifts, they see a huge three-masted ship—could it be a pirate ship? When a small rowboat makes its way to shore, the three men inside don’t look like pirates at all. The ship turns out to be the world’s first floating science laboratory, filled with sailors and scientists. Instead of hunting for treasure, the ship’s crew is searching for undiscovered sea creatures—and for the giant sea monster that seems to be following them!
These two stories in Osborne's well-researched educational series introduce children to the world of Leonardo da Vinci, and then to the wonders (and creatures) of the deep sea, as Jack and Annie continue their search for the secret of happiness. Osborne's distinctive voice first ushers children to Italy and the world of da Vinci. Jack and Annie get to be apprentices and so glimpse the odd nature of creative genius. In the second story, Jack and Annie explore the deep sea, boarding the first floating science laboratory. Much of each story unfolds through Jack and Annie's dialogue, which Osborne delivers with precision and consistent characterizations. Osborne also creates a pleasing variety of additional voices, including those of da Vinci and the ship's crew, which fans of this series will appreciate. J.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
