Overall the experience was fun and unique. The photographer was the highlight of the entire experience. He was friendly and funny and professional and made the whole shoot fun for my sister and I. What we found to be very disappointing was that we showed up for our appointment early, hoping to be able to give ourselves a bit more time looking at the costume choices as the variety is extensive, however we felt pressured and rushed to be put in the first outfit the woman selected for us. We understood the reasoning for not letting us touch them all, but at least should have been able to look at and choose for ourselves, especially for the price. The same issue was had with the witch hats. A lot of them were big and bulky and we had told the woman dressing us they were a bit much for our tastes and she seemed more offended and bothered that she had to find different ones for us. Overall would recommend the experience just for the experience with the photographer himself, but would also caution to not go into it with a vision or too high of hopes of how you want your witchy aesthetic to be.

Reviews for "Dive Into Adventure with Magic Tree House 32: Summer of the Sea Serpent"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magic Tree House 32". I have been a fan of this series since I was a child, but this book just didn't capture my attention. The plot felt rushed and the characters lacked depth. The magic of the previous books was missing, and it felt like the author was just trying to churn out another book in the series without putting much effort into it. I hope the next installment will be better, but I wouldn't recommend this one.
2. John - 1/5 stars - I couldn't finish "Magic Tree House 32". The writing was juvenile and the story was predictable. The main characters, Jack and Annie, were one-dimensional and I found it hard to care about their adventures. The dialogue was stilted and the descriptions were lacking. This book felt like a cash grab rather than a well-crafted story. I would not recommend it to anyone, especially fans of the earlier books in the series.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I was excited to read "Magic Tree House 32" as I had enjoyed the previous books in the series. However, I found this installment to be quite disappointing. The premise was interesting, but the execution fell flat. The pacing was off, with rushed action scenes and slow character development. The writing style didn't engage me and I found myself skimming through the pages. Overall, this book didn't live up to my expectations and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
4. Mike - 3/5 stars - "Magic Tree House 32" was okay, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. The story was decent, but I felt like I had read similar plots before. The writing was average, neither exceptional nor terrible. The book lacked depth and didn't explore the potential of the concept fully. While it was a quick and easy read, it wasn't a standout in the series. I wouldn't discourage fans from reading it, but it's not a must-read either.
