1. Jennifer - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magic Tree House Book 18". The plot seemed rushed, and the characters were poorly developed. It felt like the author was just trying to churn out another book without putting much thought into it. The writing style was also lacking, with awkward dialogue and repetitive descriptions. Overall, I didn't find it engaging or enjoyable to read, and I wouldn't recommend it.
2. Mark - 1 star - I found "Magic Tree House Book 18" to be incredibly boring and predictable. The story followed the same formula as previous books in the series, and there were no real surprises or twists. The plot felt flat and unoriginal, lacking any real depth. Additionally, the illustrations were lackluster and didn't enhance the reading experience. I was hoping for more from this book, but it fell short of my expectations.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I've been a fan of the "Magic Tree House" series for a while, but Book 18 was a letdown. The story was confusing and hard to follow, and I found it difficult to connect with the characters. The magic and adventure that I loved in previous books were lacking in this installment. The pacing was also off, with the action feeling rushed and the quieter moments dragging on. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and hope that future entries in the series are more engaging.

It just didn't hold my attention like previous books in the series.
