Moonlight on the Magical Flute By: Mary Pope Osborne Genre: Fantasy
Do you like Magic Tree House books? Well I do, and I certainly love this one. This Jack and Annie book is one of the better books of the Magic Tree House series.
Jack and Annie set off on a mission. They had to be home by 7:00 pm. So they went to Australia for their mission. They were holding the magical flute in their hand and they could only play the magical flute one time. The magical flute wouldn’t play anymore after it was played once. If only they knew how to play the magical flute! Will they scare off the animals? Read and found out if they do! This book is very interesting. If you like magical stuff this book would be amazing for you.
