I hope future books in this series can bring back the magic that was missing from this one.

Overall, I found this book to be mediocre and not as enjoyable as previous installments in the series.
4. Mark - 1.5 out of 5 stars - I found "Magic Tree House 9" to be quite boring and uneventful. The adventure promised in the synopsis was lackluster, and the resolution felt rushed and unsatisfying. The dialogue between the characters felt forced, and I couldn't connect with them on an emotional level. I was extremely disappointed and would not recommend this book to others.
