This book brings Jack and Annie to Australia. They obtain the final gift they need to help the dog Teddy and finish their four-part quest. We learned about kangaroos and there was a scary wildfire.

3.5 stars. This was a decent YA read that follows 17-year old Madeline in a sort of coming-of-age romance. Her brother is engaged to a woman who Mads fears may not be the right fit. This book is about her family interactions as well as many firsts- dates, kiss, and more. I liked the premise but felt like this book lost its way slightly in the love triangle aspect with potential suitor Connor and Marco. I appreciate that this book was not totally expected and messy at times in a real life sort of way. I listened to an ARC audiobook on NetGalley.

I first listened to this as an audiobook on Spotify and recently reread the physical book borrowed from the library. I’d definitely recommend listening to the author’s narration over the written version as Sarah Kay is a specialist in spoken word poetry. Overall, I found several of the poems relatable but others forgettable.

Really interesting read!!

rilly great book

I liked it a lot because I like cupcakes and I like the characters in the book and what they did. And I like what the story was about.

Excellent book with great plot and characters.

So funny and Hallariuos!

This Magic Treehouse book was very informative- covering the harsh conditions and cruelty of the Civil War. Jack and Annie meet Clara Barton and (mild spoiler) a distant ancestor. My 4.5yo thought this book was tragic but interesting.

I just started and it already so good (and emotional )
