Brief summary & how to use with students: I'd never heard of this series before but once I started researching about beginner chapter books - The Magic Tree House series was one of the first things I heard about. This book references back to past books so I'm assuming children would want to read them in order but I was still able to follow along as Teddy, Jack, and Annie go on their adventure through time. Merlin the Magician starts off by sending the two a note, having them go to their tree house, and then into the time of Camelot. (I'm assuming this is probably what happens in all of the books.) And then its up to the three of them gather their bravery and figure out where the Stone of Destiny is.
