Jack and Annie are off on another Magic Treehouse Merlin Mission. They go to a ball in Austria to help a famous artist. They meet a little boy named Wolfie. Jack thinks he is annoying, but Annie makes Jack treat him nice anyway. Later that evening, they find out Wolfie is really the famous musician
The Magic Treehouse books are really special to me. My son and I use to take turns reading a chapter. So he could get his AR points. I think these are good books for children to visit different times in history and places without never leaving their bedrooms.
In the classroom, we would talk about famous people and places we want to visit. Then I would have them draw a picture of themselves visiting that place or meeting that person. Then they would stand up in front of the class and tell about their adventure.

Transported again by a book in their magic treehouse, this time Jack and Annie are in Austria in the 18th-century, anxiously searching for their mission as they tolerate the company of a pesky young boy who has no other children around to play with. When that boy turns out to be Wolfgang Amadeus

Mozart and the focus of their mission, they use the brilliant music he has already begun composing to recapture animals he has freed from the zoo, inspiring him that his music is magical even if he is weary of missing his childhood for it. The absence of otherworldly magical tools at the hero and heroine's disposal is refreshing here considering it is a Merlin Mission, and the focus on the work and life of a great artist is handled well. A good addition to a curriculum focusing on Mozart or on the lives of young artists. Show Less

Personal Response:
I thought this was a cute story. I didn't think that there was anything super special about, still it was entertaining and fun to hear the author's take on Mozart's early years.

Lots of kids love series books. Having this book available with the other Magic
A fun class assignment might be to do additional research for particular Magic Treehouse books (particularly the ones that do not have research guides such as this one).

Once again, Jack and Annie's magic tree house whisks them away to adventure – this time to a party at an eighteenth-century Austrian palace where they soon meet a six-year-old Mozart. Weaving history into a funny, fast-paced narrative has been a hallmark of The Magic Tree House series, and this
