Decent Kids Historical Fantasy about Pompeii
For young kids, maybe 5-8 years old, I think this is a decent introduction to the destruction of Pompeii using a fantasy series to do so. There are many historical realities that are not covered in the book -- sexism and general slavery for example -- but they didn't shy away from the fact that gladiators were not free and that the destruction was very real and the people likely quite scared. I originally got this book to review for a job then my responsibilities for that job changed but I still read it and wanted to share my thoughts on it with you all.
All of the Magic Tree House books are GREAT for students who are at reading level 2nd-3rd grade
All of the Magic Tree House books are GREAT for students who are at reading level 2nd-3rd grade. They are high interest, adventure stories. All of them revolve around 2 kids named Jack and Annie who go on some adventure, the students generally enjoy the books and retain what they read!
Great Story
My kid lives all these books, but this story especially. Maybe because we lived very close to Pompeii when she was little, but she loved the story.
Arrived damaged
This is supposed to be a brand new book. It came damaged. The top portion looks like it was jammed into something to remove the coloring and wrinkle the cover. The binding also shows damage. The lower back corner is curled up.
Great historic fiction for kids
I read a little to the kids each day - they were excited to hear the story and were disappointed each time I stopped.
What a great series for kids!
My son really enjoys reading this series. He has grown to love the two main characters. It's really easy for him to read and comprehend. We bought this series so that he can really get into reading books. Our plan has worked because there's not a day that goes by that he does not read one of these books on his Kindle. I only wish the books were a little longer but that's not a big deal since there are so many volumes. Great series!
Great chapter book starter!
My 2nd grader is reading this book this semester. So far we have enjoyed the story. I will be getting him the other books in the series soon. Great introduction into chapter books for kids to read.

I bought a few of these as a gift for my nephew, who LOVES the Magic Tree House books. This aunt loves anything that gets the kids excited about reading! Great price, fast shipping, and awesome stories to encourage kids to read!
