Magic Tree House
Series of children's novels by Mary Pope Osborne
For the anime film, see Magic Tree House (film).
Magic Tree House is an American series of children's books written by the American author Mary Pope Osborne. The original American series is illustrated by Salvatore Murdocca, although other illustrators have been used for foreign-language editions.
The series consists of two groups. The first group consists of books 1–28, in which Morgan Le Fay sends Jack and Annie Smith, two normal children who are siblings from the fictional small town of Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, on numerous adventures and missions with a magical tree house. The second group, referred to as the Magic Tree House: Merlin Missions, begins with book 29, Christmas in Camelot. In Merlin Missions, Jack and Annie are given quests by the ancient wizard Merlin the Magician. These books are longer than the previous 28, and some take place in fantasy realms like Camelot. Kathleen and Teddy are two apprentices who befriend Jack and Annie during their adventures, with one of these adventures being to free Kathleen from a spell. The two occasionally join Jack and Annie, and, when they don't, provide them support instead. During Super Edition #1, Teddy sends them on a mission instead of Morgan or Merlin. The companion Magic Tree House Fact Trackers are co-written by Mary Pope Osborne with her husband Will Osborne or her sister Natalie Pope Boyce.
In the beginning, Mary Pope Osborne wrote the books with Morgan sending the children on missions. Then she switched over to them being sent on missions by Merlin. About 10 years later, in , she switched back to writing only the books with Morgan sending them on missions. These books were, again, much shorter.
Series background[edit]
After graduating college, Osborne and a friend went traveling.[1] Osborne spent time in Crete and traveled through Iraq, Iran, India, Afghanistan, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, and Pakistan.[2] The trip came to an end when Osborne experienced blood poisoning in Nepal requiring her to stay in a hospital for a couple of weeks where she read The Lord of the Rings.[1] Remarking on her travels Osborne said, "That journey irrevocably changed me. Experience was gathered that serves as a reference point every day of my life. I encountered worlds of light and worlds of darkness — and planted seeds of the imagination that led directly to my being an author of children's books."[2]
Osborne's travels and experiences have factored largely into her own writing, while her writing has allowed her to experience some of the thrills of traveling. As she said, "Without even leaving my home, I’ve traveled around the globe, learning about the religions of the world."[3]
Osborne's writing career began "one day, out of the blue"[3] when she wrote Run, Run As Fast As You Can in The book itself is semi-autobiographical in nature, according to Osborne: "The girl was a lot like me and many of the incidents in the story were similar to happenings in my childhood."[3] The book served as the starting point for Osborne's writing career. Her early work received mixed reviews.[4][5] Her work includes young adult novels, picture books, retellings of mythology and fairy tales, biographies, mysteries, a six part series of the Odyssey, a book of American Tall Tales, and a book for young readers about the major world religions.
Osborne says that she can work on Magic Tree House up to 12 hours a day and seven days a week[6] and has used space at shared office space, The Writer's Room.[7] She has modeled her writing after Hemingway by trying to be simple and direct[6] and is "noted for writing clear, lively, well-paced prose in both her stories and her informational books."[2]

They are more challenging adventures for readers ages 7–[8] The Magic Tree House: Merlin Missions were originally ordered sequentially, starting at Book #29 (Christmas in Camelot). With the 25th anniversary re-prints, the books have been separated into their own distinct series and re-numbered starting at Merlin Mission #1.[8]

Legacy[edit]
Mary Pope Osborne's books have been named to a number of the Best Books of the Year Lists, including, School Library Journal, Parents’ Magazine, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, and Bank Street College of Education.[2] She has received honors from such organizations as the National Council of Teachers of English, The Children's Book Council, and the International Reading Association.[2] She received the Diamond State Reading Association Award,[2] Ludington Memorial Award from the Educational Paperback Association[16] and the Heidelberger Leander Award.[17] She has also received awards from the Carolina Alumni Association,[18] the Virginia Library Association[2] and in spring she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[19]
Ms. Osborne served two separate terms as president of the Authors Guild and also chaired its Children's Book Committee.[2] She has since traveled extensively in the states and throughout the world, visiting schools and speaking on issues related to reading and books. In , she attended the Tokyo International Film Festival for the premiere of the Magic Tree House anime film and visited schools in the tsunami-hit area of Japan.[20] The film grossed million dollars; Osborne donated all her proceeds into her educational works.[21]
She was profiled on NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams for her continued efforts to get books into the hands of underserved children on a Magic Tree House-themed tour bus.[21] She spoke of the pressure she feels as an author that children look up to, "for a child to value someone who writes books is so extraordinary."[21]
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Magic Tree House series in , Ms. Osborne created a Magic Tree House Classroom Adventures Program. Ms. Osborne's mission with Classroom Adventures is to inspire children to read and to love reading[22] while simultaneously helping kids to read at grade level by the end of 3rd grade.[21] Free of charge, the program provides a set of online educational resources for teachers and allows for Title 1 schools to apply for free Magic Tree House books.[22] Under Classroom Adventures, Ms. Osborne, in partnership with the First Book organization in Washington, D.C., has donated hundreds of thousands of Magic Tree House books to underserved schools.[23]
Adaptations[edit]
Magic Tree House Children's Theatre[edit]
The Magic Tree House brand has taken on other forms. A full-scale musical adaptation was created by Will Osborne and Randy Court; Magic Tree House: The Musical, premiered in September [24] Osborne hoped that it would have the same kind of kid and adult appeal as The Lion King or Mary Poppins.[24] Based on the Magic Tree House book Christmas in Camelot, the Musical has toured nationally[24][25] and had a cast album.[26]
A planetarium show; Magic Tree House: Space Mission, also created by Will Osborne, is produced and presented exclusively at the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[27]

The show features an ensemble cast and live jazz band. It premiered in at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and was shown free to every Newark 4th grade student.[28]
Magic Tree House Kids Shows are theatrical adaptations of selected titles in the Magic Tree House series designed specifically for performance by kids.[29] To date, children's shows have been created by husband and wife playwright and composer team Randy Courts and Jenny Laird[30] in collaboration with Will Osborne based on the following Magic Tree House books: Dinosaurs Before Dark, The Knight at Dawn, Pirates Past Noon, A Ghost Tale for Christmas Time,[30]A Night in New Orleans, and Stage Fright on a Summer Night, a new children's show based on the life of William Shakespeare, set to premiere at the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre in October [25]

After informing her that I would arrive in 2 days, I began to put everything I needed in my travel bag: the first to get into. It were spare things, a jacket, second pants, shorts, personal hygiene items, 5 sets of underwear, shorts, T-shirts and a bunch of clothes; put my laptop with a USB modem on top. And I was ready to leave on the evening flight to her, but the devil pulled me to put 2 sets of handcuffs, and a couple.
