Magic Tree House

review 1: With a visit from a fellow magician, Magic Tree House travelers, Jack and Annie, are challenged to explore a new era with a new mission. Stallion by Starlight sends Jack and Annie to ancient Greece to visit a young Alexander the Great and learn what Alexander needs in order to become how Great he has been proclaimed to be. This book features a lesson in history and humility, teaching its readers that no matter how "great" one is said to be, it is always most important to be modest, humble, and just a person more than anything else. Here are some questions for reflection upon Stallion by Starlight:1. What is the relationship between Alexander the Great and his father, King Philip?2. What is the theme of Stallion by Starlight?3. What do you predict will happen after Jack and... more Annie intervene with Alexander's childhood?4. What do you think would happen if Jack and Annie hadn't been so lucky to run into Aristotle at the market? How might that have changed the plot of the story?5. Why was it better that Jack and Annie chose to take matters into their own hands when it came to Bucephalus? How did that change/enhance the course of the story?Osborne, Mary Pope., and Sal Murdocca. Stallion by Starlight. New York: Random House, 2013. Print.
review 2: Normally I am a huge fan of the Magic Tree House Series; this one was just o.k. for me though. In previous missions Jack and Annie have used the magic tree house to travel back in time to learn something from the past; if anything is changed while they are there it is a minor change. In this adventure however, their travels seemed to have greatly changed the behavior of the person they were going back in time to learn from, in essence altering the future. These books have always followed a similar pattern in missions of four; I’m crossing my fingers that Jack and Annie don’t mess with the time space continuum any further. less
