Description

The #1 bestselling Magic Tree House series for chapter book readers is ready to whisk you away across the world with Jack and Annie—this time to save sea otters after a shark attack! Magic Tree House is the perfect series for kids ready to transition from levelled readers and picture books to longer novels!

It's bright and early when the magic tree house spins Jack and Annie to Monterey Bay, California. It's their mission to collect sea urchins in the underwater kelp forests! But they know nothing about collecting sea urchins—can a grouchy boat captain help them? Maybe. But Jack and Annie have another problem when Annie finds a badly injured sea otter. They're not supposed to help the otter... but it's the right thing to do. Can they convince the grouchy boat captain to help them?

Did you know that there's a Magic Tree House book for every kid?

Magic Tree House - Perfect for readers who are just beginning chapter books
Merlin Missions - More challenging adventures for the experienced reader
Fact Trackers - Nonfiction companions to your favourite Magic Tree House adventures
Graphic Novels - Relive the original adventures brought to life with art by Kelly & Nichole Matthews

If you're looking for Merlin Mission #40 - Eve of the Emperor Penguin, it was renumbered as Merlin Mission #12 when the series was rebranded in 2017.
