YOUNGER FICTION
Osborne, Mary Pope

Dogs in the Dead of Night

(4) 1-3 Magic Tree House series. Illustrated by Sal Murdocca. This time around, sibs Jack and Annie time-travel backward two centuries to the Swiss Alps. The snowy milieu doesn't bode well for their quest to find a rare white and yellow flower to help save Merlin's penguin. Despite stale writing, the series continues to be reliable at making history lessons mildly entertaining. Black-and-white art reinforces the text's straightforwardness.
