Comments for Afternoon on the Amazon (Magic Tree House #6)

Afternoon on the Amazon (Magic Tree House #6): 12/06/10

cover art

A couple years ago, possibly three, my son was given a starter set of Magic Tree House books. One of those books was Afternoon on the Amazon by Mary Pope Osborne.

Jack and Annie are sent via the tree house to the Amazon to track down clues to find and understand Morgan Le Fey. They have to run from killer ants, crocodiles and other dangerous creatures. The book lacks the plotting of later volumes. Jack and Annie mostly just run for their lives throughout the book so it doesn't have much in the way of character development.

It is what it is and when my son was first learning to read he loved it.
