Magic Tree House Books  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443) 5 years ago

Are any of you familiar with the series of books called Magic Tree House Books by Mary Pope Osborne? My little neice is just hooked on them and we have been trying to find some copies really reasonable so she can read over the summer. Her teachers recommended her to read a lot over the summer and since she enjoys these books so much I am going to try and find them for her. Any input you have on these will be greatly appreciated.

I highly reccommend going to Barnes & Noble on line and you will find just about anything you are looking for there. They also list next to the titles the discount used or resale of buy outs that others have available. I always go there before I consider purchasing on line. I get really good deals and I always find what I am looking for.

Thank you loujac for telling me about barnes & nobles, I really hadn't thought of checking with them. I use ebay a lot, but I will check this out.

You may be able to go to Scholastic Books online and order. When they have specials during the year, they have them really reasonable, and it is so fun to have your own books. Our local bookstore also buys and sells used books, maybe you could find a used bookstore that would have some. The other thing is to look at Goodwill or other thrift shops,as books are often cheap there. And yard sales. If she runs out of those, she might try Boxcar Children books. A little more oldfashioned, but very entertaining, with kids playing the lead in the stories.


myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443)  5 years ago

I had never heard of Boxcar Children books, that's something I will look into. I haven't thought of Scholastic Books since my kids were in school. They are online too? Thanks for letting me know about them. I'm old fashioned too, books are great for kids.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)  5 years ago

Boxcar Children used to be one of my niece's favourite series too, when she was younger. Scholastic had some great deals when my daughter was in elementary school, and we used to be able to get a good discount through the school, so lots of her books came from there.

My kids love those books as well. My son use to read them and now my daughter is.
All the books are good in the series.
You should be able to find them in most book stores I think.
Jack and Annie are great characters a pretty realistic as well.


myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443)  5 years ago

She and I have discussed checking with the used book stores to see if they have the older volumes of this series. I have never seen her so excited over reading, so of course I'm all for it :)

These were my daughter's favourites too, when she was this age. Her all time favourite was 'Tonight On The Titanic,' which she read again and again. Another one she loved, was Ghost Town At Sundown. My daughter read these 6 or 7 years ago, and there were around 25 in the series at that time. She was given a copy of the first one she ever read at her school book fair. They were also available in the school library, and should be on sale at most major bookstores.


myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443)  5 years ago

Thanks for sharing with me. She has mentioned the one about the Ghost at Sundown as one that she really wants to read. She has read several in class or at her school library, but she wants to read more over the summer.

Here's a link from Amazon.com where you can find the books. I think there are some used ones you could order

Thanks Karen for sharing with me and giving me the link. I have used Amazon.com before and I love to deal with them.

Have you tried Half.com? They may carry some of these books for a good price. I am so glad she found something that she is interested in! Maybe it will encourage her to read more!


myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443)  5 years ago

I did look on half.com and for the newest one I think it will be the best deal, but on the others, shipping has gone up so much now with the postal increase, that I think I can get a better deal on ebay by getting them in "lots" instead of a single book at a time. I did win an auction for a set of like #9 thru #16 for a great price. Thanks for sharing with me, I am so excited about her "wanting" to read, I hope she continues :)

Hello applsofgld. Have you tried checking the website? I have never heard about this series of books yet. It certainly sound interesting and educational. I will try and browse through the site to see what's so fascinating about this books. My girls are both book lovers and I might add this to their list of must read books.


myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443)  5 years ago

Oh you really should check these out if your girls like to read. They must be really good and exciting to read if my little neice likes them. She is one who has to be made to read, but she actually loves these books. So I'm really excited to get them for her.

My daughter loves these books- I'd check the yard sales- I know my daughter is putting alot of hers in the yard sale this year- She has moved on from them- They are great books to- I have read alot of them- Makes the child use their imagination- and makes them think- They are very interesting and keep your attention. Great books!


myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443)  5 years ago

I wish I was at your yard sale :) Thanks for sharing with me about your daughter liking this series of books. I think it's great when a set comes out that makes young people learn to love reading. Both my kids love to read.

Bookmooch.com has a lot of these books. Bookmooch is a trading book website. I checked the site and there are many books by Mary Pope Osborne for trade.


myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443)  5 years ago

I had never heard of Bookmooch.com before. I am definitely going to check them out. Thank you so very much for sharing that information with me.

My 7 year old and 5 year old love these, and you can't beat the price! We usually go to borders and get a few for $4 a piece. Another way to find them cheap would be on ebay. Or garage sales. How about the library? They are great books, full of adventure!! :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. applsofgld (1443)  5 years ago

We live right on the border between counties, so the nearest library for us is not our county and they want a ridiculous price for a yearly fee to use their library. But I have been checking with ebay and half.com. I am going to try some used book stores and yard sales too. Hadn't thought about borders though, thanks for sharing that with me :)
