The Magic Tree House series has been a staple of children’s reading since 1992, when Mary Pope Osborne published the first book about Jack and Annie, two kids who discover a tree house full of books that can transport them through time. The series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide and has been translated into dozens of languages.
What makes the series work is its simple premise paired with genuine educational content. Each adventure drops Jack and Annie into a real historical period or location, from ancient Egypt to the Titanic, and the companion Fact Tracker books let curious young readers learn more about the topics covered in the fiction. The series continues to add new titles, reaching new generations of early readers.
