Book Reviews: Fact-Checking the Impressions Given by The Magic Tree House
These books mark a shift in The Magic Tree House series. Jack and Annie are now card-carrying Master Librarians. Their missions in this set of four are to travel back in time to retrieve specific works for Morgan to put in the library at Camelot.
Previous books have taken the pair to specific places or eras, but broadly: the medieval period of Europe, the Age of Sail and piracy, the American Old West and places like the Amazon, the African savannah, the Arctic.
Now the stories have them arrive at a place before a specific event. I began to mark these books on my timeline of historical fiction as now I can place the books more specifically.
With more concrete characters and events, I found myself fact-checking and studying as I read these four, and now I’m here to share what I’ve learned.
First, the pair go to Pompeii on the day of the eruption that buries the city in 79 CE. They retrieve a scroll from the library of a patrician citizen and escape with the help of Hercules before the ash buries the city.
This adventure did not excite much complaint or question from me, being already fairly familiar with Pompeii and nothing violently contradicting what I know.
I am though upset to discover how woeful is my public school education in Chinese history. The year of the Day of the Dragon King, determined by the recorded year of a book burning event ordered by China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, predates the destruction of Pompeii by 292 years, and this to me was mind-blowing! And it shouldn’t be mind-blowing. This is fact that I feel that I should have been taught, the great, long period covered by Chinese history.
I have spent more than a week now trying to trace the story referred to in Viking Ships at Sunrise, wanting to know more about this story. I can find no myth of Sarph. I can find no Irish or Celtic myth linking the Milky Way to a sea serpent. I have found that “sarph” is the Welsh word for “serpent.” This myth seems an odd thing for Osborne to have invented, but she doesn’t cite her sources, and I am failing to find them through my own means.
From the description of the island, the sharp incline lined by stairs, the beehive-shaped buildings of the monastery, I am guessing that Osborne meant to depict Skellig Michael, an island you might now recognize as Luke Skywalker’s island hideaway in The Last Jedi. If that’s the case, this book may be set in 823, when the Annals of Inisfallen report the island having been attacked by Vikings.
I have serious problems with the portrayal of ancient Greece in Hour at the Olympics.
- You can’t conflate all the Greek city-states when talking about the place of women or the education of children. Upper class women in Athens were barely allowed to leave the house; Spartan women were given public education and expected to be athletic. If Pope had even added a “most” in front of her sweeping depiction of women’s lives in ancient Greece, I might be satisfied.
- The Olympics website and the Penn Museum say that unmarried women could attend the men’s games and that the priestess of Demeter would be in attendance. Annie is definitely an unmarried woman. Whether unaccompanied minors were allowed or whether there was a punishment for impersonating a soldier, I don’t know.
- Some Greek women were definitely allowed to be poets. Sappho is among the most famous of the Greek poets and was in her own time too.
Plato, a character in this story, lived roughly between 429-347 BCE. Plato is an old man in this story, so this is set probably in the latter part of his life (40+).
This whole series has been inspiring for me in the way that is Chris Paolini’s Eragon, inspiring jealousy, igniting the spirit of competition and the desire to write a better (in this case more historically accurate and inclusive) story, though I’ve not begun any such project yet.
I’m still clearly learning from these stories. I am just also learning that the impressions Osborne gives her readers of these stories are sometimes incomplete and perhaps sometimes completely fictionalized rather than historical. It is a reminder to not believe everything that you read. It is a reminder to question what you read. It is a reminder that the information is out there and fairly accessible if you care to look (I never did more than search Google for the answers that I found).
As a book-lover, I appreciate the emphasis in these four on ancient manuscripts.
Morgan is now outfitting the siblings with period and climate appropriate clothing, so there is far less theft in these four than in previous books.
I’ve already read the next in the series, Tonight on the Titanic, but as it begins a new four-part quest for the siblings, I thought I would end my review with the 16 th . Stay tuned for more!

Reviews for "The Influence of "Uh Oh Its Nigic" on Advertising and Marketing Strategies"
1. John - 1 star - "Uh oh its nigic was a disappointing experience for me. The humor was tasteless and offensive, relying on cheap stereotypes and derogatory language. I found myself cringing throughout the entire performance. The lack of originality was also evident, as the jokes seemed recycled and unoriginal. Overall, I would not recommend this comedy show to anyone who values intelligent and thought-provoking humor."
2. Emily - 2 stars - "I was quite disappointed with Uh oh its nigic. The show lacked substance and relied heavily on crude humor and racial stereotypes. The jokes were predictable and often fell flat, leaving the audience with an uncomfortable atmosphere rather than any genuine laughter. While comedy can be subjective, this show missed the mark for me and left me feeling unsatisfied."
3. Robert - 1 star - "Uh oh its nigic was a deeply offensive and distasteful comedy show. The constant use of racial slurs and derogatory language was unacceptable and not funny in the slightest. It seemed like the entire premise of the show was to shock and offend rather than provide genuine laughter. I believe that comedy should be inclusive and bring people together, but this show only served to divide and perpetuate harmful stereotypes."
4. Sarah - 2 stars - "I had high hopes for Uh oh its nigic, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The humor was crude and often crossed the line into offensive territory. It seemed like the show was more interested in shocking the audience rather than delivering clever and engaging comedy. I understand that comedy can be edgy, but this show failed to strike the right balance and left me feeling uncomfortable rather than entertained."
5. Matthew - 1 star - "Uh oh its nigic was a complete waste of time and money. The jokes were tasteless and relied on offensive stereotypes. It felt like the performers were trying too hard to be edgy and controversial without actually being funny. I left the show feeling disappointed and regretting my decision to attend. I would not recommend this show to anyone looking for quality comedy."
