I liked it because one thing was named after an animal--it was called Rattlensnake Flasts. It was a little funny.

Jack and Annie travel back to the Wild west and help reunite a mama mustang with her colt, give a cowboy advise on his career, and solve the riddle bringing them closer to becoming Master Librarians. This is a good book for young readers as the series is enthralling and also encourages reading.

I hate ghost because it is scary.

I picked this book up expecting to feel brain cells dying as I read it. I was very wrong; I can see why my students enjoy this series so much. It's very well written (albeit extremely simplistic) and interesting. It was an extremely quick read and is educational, to boot!

I think that this book is a great way for children to learn about the wild west and spark their imagination at the same time.

Dusting off the old collection of Magic Tree House books, I knew I had to read my favorite book from the series that really were my first chapter books I was able to read. This book takes Jack and Anne into the old Wild West where they are tasked with solving a riddle in a possibly haunted ghost

town. The fantasy elements of this book are just great! I still remember being totally immersed in the experience of travelling to a new place and time as a kid, and as an adult, these books which are now a real quick read, still provide that nostalgia and wonder I had as a kid. This book was not only entertaining but it also had more little facts and tid bits then I remember it having when I red it in my youth. I think this book, and the others in the series hold a very important place in the area of children's literature. Although they really don't serve all that much of a classroom purpose, they have and still do today, kept kids reading ad growing the vocabulary of young readers.

Growing up I was always a fan of the Magic Tree House series. I enjoyed this particular book, “Ghost Town At Sundown”, for a few reasons. In the beginning of the book the riddle is given to the reader. The riddle is a way to draw the reader in. I loved this aspect of the book. The entire time I

was reading, I kept thinking about the riddle and what the answer could be. This kept me constantly engaged in the text. The next reason why I enjoyed this book was the pictures. Even though this book is a chapter book, the images are descriptive enough to help younger readers build their sense of imagery when reading along through the text. The main idea of this story was to solve a riddle and mystery that took place in the old Wild West.

Jack & Annie go back to the Old West and visit a ghost town with real ghosts! They also encounter some cattle rustlers and a kindly cowboy named Slim. It's a fun adventure with a riddle to solve.
