Dual time line story set in 1920's and the present. Fascinating novel about the stealing of eggs from the nests of shore birds to sell to collectors. Well drawn characters and suspenseful. I knew nothing about this so-called "hobby". Warning: You will feel badly for the birds.

Teen Colby is still recovering from the death of her mother and struggles to cope with long absences from her long haul trucker dad. When Colby is dumped by her secret summer girl friend, it’s almost too much for her to bear. Over the next few months her grades slip and Colby lashes out at her friends and supporters. When a three-legged dog arrives in her life, Colby has companionship and new responsibilities. Lots of drama and turmoil, but mostly happy endings all around.

They were in the magic treehouse, they found a pirate book and wanted to go there. Then they were in there and got caught by the pirates. To try to get out, they put them in the real ship in a basement and they knew where the treasure was so they went.

Keeper of the Lost Cities is an INCREDIBLE fantasy series. It has a complex plot with many interesting twists and complicated characters. I have reread the series multiple times and it never gets old. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that loves fantasy.

3.75 rounded up. This was not my favorite Magic Treehouse adventure. It felt a bit hokey. My 4yo had a lot of questions about smoking (cultural Native American representation).

“It’s a super good book because ai love Diary of a whimpy kid. It’s so funny.”

We love this series! The illustrations are lovely and cute. Bird and bear are such great friends.

My 4.5 year old loved this book and would rate it 5 stars. I thought this was one of the hokier books in the Magic Treehouse and did not find it as interesting and educational as some of the other more historical tales.

This has been a great book for taking the moral judgements out of not having a clean house. It also contains some great cleaning hacks and makes you realize that clean enough is truly enough.

I love this series- I started with the Wandering Inn Series by the same Author and now listen to this one as well, which diverges to a different continent and plot line in the same magical world. I am hundreds of hours in and still look forward to each new release!
