2. John - 2/5 stars - As someone who enjoyed the earlier books in the Magic Tree House series, I was disappointed with the thirteenth volume. The story felt rushed and lacked the usual charm and creativity that I loved about the earlier books. The adventures felt repetitive, and the plot was predictable, with no real excitement or suspense. The character development also seemed to take a backseat, leaving the main characters feeling flat and one-dimensional. Overall, I found the thirteenth volume to be a letdown and not worth the time or investment.
