Normally my daughter and I are over the moon excited when we see that a new Magic Tree House adventure has arrived; however sports do not interest in the slightest. Of course Mary Pope Osborne came through even while telling a tale steeped in team competition and cleats. This ended up being one of my favorite books in regards to demonstrating compassion and selflessness; two words I never would have attributed when thinking of soccer or any other sport.
Lots of good reading and wise statements and educational information for all ages. My granddaughter liked reading this book. Her family is from Mexico and she parts of this to relate to. I enjoyed the wise statements and educational parts.
You can't believe how good this book is. Just the drama, action and adventure in this book will blow your mind.I would recommend this book to anyone who loves soccer. I hope there is another Magic Tree House book coming out soon!
What is the next stop for Jack and Annie of Frog Creek, PA? Merlin the Magician sends them tickets to one of the most exciting soccer games ever—the 1970 World Cup in Mexico City. Their mission is to learn a “secret of greatness” from the famous soccer player Pelé. But will they make it to Aztec Stadium in time? If they do, can they find Pelé in a crowd of 100,000 soccer fans? What is Pele’s secret? And how will the answer come? The “Magic Tree House” books are a mixed bag, but they generally include some interesting historical and/or scientific material for young people. There are some who reject any references to “magic” in children’s literature, and they would likely want to avoid the series. However, for those who are willing to accept the fictional element of magic, Soccer on Sunday will certainly appeal to beginning readers who like soccer. Jack uses the euphemistic “heck” once, but there is not much else that is objectionable, and some geographical information about Mexico City is included. The next Magic Tree House book (#53) is Shadow of the Shark.
My 7 year old daughter loves the Magic Tree House books. This one seems to be more on her level than some of the other ones (not quite as advanced). She is reading it on her own, probably not getting every word, and she is an "on-level" reader. She loves soccer and loves this book.
got this book for my nephew for his birthdays as he reads the series. The books came packed well and there was no nicks or defects on them. I love how the hardcover book was only a couple dollars more and that I could make my nephew happy and smile on his birthday!!
Another great book from Mary Pope Osbourne. Our kids have loved this series from the beginning. The way the author can pull you into the story is great for readers especially young readers. My wife takes turns with our girls reading & they absolutely love it. They can't wait to start reading when a new book comes out. One adventure after another. So you know that boys or girls will enjoy this. It is a chapter book so it is a little hard for kids learning to read but read with an adult the story is enjoyed easier.
We love these books and read them all in order. We really hope more will be written.Michael-7Gabe-6Mommy too
