The Mary Pope Osborne graphic novel series brings the early Magic Tree House adventures into a full-color illustrated format. Starting with Dinosaurs Before Dark (2021), these adaptations retell the original chapter book stories as graphic novels, with artwork that gives visual form to Jack and Annie’s time-traveling journeys. The series has covered nine volumes through 2025, working through the first several Magic Tree House stories.
The graphic novel format makes these classic adventures accessible to a different type of reader, including younger children who may not be ready for chapter books and visual learners who prefer illustrated storytelling. The books follow the same plots as the originals, from dinosaur encounters to pirate adventures to trips to ancient Egypt, now presented in panels and speech bubbles.
