The Magic Treehouse series is a beloved collection of children's books written by Mary Pope Osborne. In one of the books, titled "Twister on Tuesday," the main characters Jack and Annie find themselves in the midst of a thrilling adventure. The story begins when Jack and Annie receive a message from Morgan Le Fay, the enchanted librarian, who tells them to find a special kind of book that will help them on their mission. Utilizing the magical powers of the treehouse, Jack and Annie travel back in time to the year 1874 to find the book they seek. Upon arriving in 1874, they discover that the town they are in is dominated by a sense of fear and apprehension. The reason for this becomes apparent when they learn that a destructive and powerful tornado is about to hit the town.
As one of the most family-friendly properties in Benidorm, the Magic Aqua Rock Gardens is loud and busy, with dozens of kids running around screaming in delight after sliding down the looping waterslides. The entire hotel is designed to keep the little ones entertained and some guests complain that activities for adults are lacking.
Magic Aqua Rock Gardens has an impressive water park complete with two huge looping slides and a kids area with smaller slides and a few water features. Laminate floors, large windows and a combination of dark and bright orange colors make spaces appear stylish and contemporary, while zebra prints on bed runners and pillows, textured headboards meant to look like animal fur, mosquito nets, black-and-white photos, and ceiling fans are all nods at the hotel s African theme.
The reason for this becomes apparent when they learn that a destructive and powerful tornado is about to hit the town. Jack and Annie meet a girl named Kathleen, who takes them to her family's storm cellar for safety. While in the storm cellar, Jack and Annie learn about the devastating effects of twisters and how it is possible to predict them.

The 254-room Magic Aqua Rock Gardens is one of the most kid-friendly resorts in Benidorm. Rooms are contemporary and bright, with Africa-inspired decor features, flat-screen TVs, sofa beds, and free Wi-Fi, but not all of them have balconies. This all-inclusive property's main draw is its huge water park with looping slides and kids' area with water features. Other amenities include a large pool with a swim-up bar, a fitness center with cardio and strength-training machines, and an extensive entertainment program for all ages. Those who need a break from the hundreds of kids splashing around at any given time can head to the adult-only rooftop lounge for a drink with views. Travelers looking for a child-free vacation should check out the adult-only Riviera Beachotel instead.

While "Magic Treehouse Twister on Tuesday" wasn't the worst book I've read, it definitely fell short of my expectations. The storyline was predictable and the pacing felt off, with some parts dragging on while others were rushed through. I also felt that the book didn't do justice to the topic of tornadoes, as it only scratched the surface without truly delving into the science or the impact they have on communities. Overall, I would say this book was just okay, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to others.
