Midnight on the Moon (Magic Tree House, No. 8) Paperback – October 29, 1996

These books are a cry of relief from the five minute books we usually read with our son and they have already taught him so much about science, nature, and particularly history. Jack and Annie, the lead characters in the series, travel through time and meet with prominent historical figures such as Equipment Queens, take a trip to the moon, spend a day with Abraham Lincoln, land in camp with General George Washington as he is ready to cross the Delaware, and even convince a young Mozart to continue his pursuit in music.They are well written books that peak interest in subjects young kids may not yet have access to and have accompanying research guides that give detailed back stories and historical guides to the subjects covered in the novels. Although the intended audience of the series seem to be for children around 8 - 10, our five year old becomes engulfed in the stories every single evening, always looking forward to what adventure Jack and Annie are heading for next.Amazon also tend to have a wider availability of the series than book stores like Barnes and Nobel at prices up to half the cost of the same.

My almost-4 year old granddaughter loves them! They are written with kids in mind, but I enjoy them, too. They are fun and educational!

Part of a series, the book the series are great for young children.

The book was purchased for third grade students - they are enjoying it. I like some of the extras that you can go on-line and get that go with the book. Also plan on getting the Fact Finder companion book. They are fantastic for taking a fun read to fun learning!

My teenage brother who has cerebral palsy adores the collection of magic treehouse books. They are just small enough for him to hold comfortably with his frail hands and the text is big enough for him to read without having difficulty. The content of this book is interesting for not only kids, but any person who loves adventure stories. For my brother who is confined to a wheelchair, these books are an escape out of reality, where he can feel normal. I would recommend these books for any disabled person based on the effect they have on my brother. Happy reading!

We love the Magic Tree House series so far. I gave this only 4 stars because so far, of all the books we're read in the series, my son likes this one least. It could be just us but I didn't think this book was as interesting as the rest but it was still very good.

This was a great read with a 7 year old!! Finished in 3 days and enjoyed the lessons — about the moon and life lessons about seeking knowledge and risk taking. My son is looking forward for many more! Would recommend to anyone who wants to keeps.

I have read the Magic Tree House books to all my children. I am now reading them to my 7 year old. These books are exciting and interesting. Each with a new theme to learn about.
