Second Best!Commenter: Alan, grade 3
This is the very BEST!
Except for Summer of the Sea Serpent.
One of the Best Magic Tree House Books Ever.Commenter: Jostin, grade 4
The Blizzard of the Blue Moon is one of the best books that Mary Pope Osborne has written. I recommend this book for a fantasy book report.
This is an exciting and thrilling adventure story. Samuel Collier is a twelve-year-old orphan in London. He has heard about the gold in the New World and can't believe his good fortune when he is chosen to go with Captain John Smith to the New World. After being on the ship, Susan Constant, and living in the horrible conditions of the 'tween deck, Samuel can hardly believe land has finally been sited. Through sickness, starvation and the native people, the members of the all male James Town colony don't know if they will survive.

Fascinating book. Read more about James Town in The Double Life of Pocahontas by Jean Fritz.
Really Cool Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Commenter: Margaret, grade 5
My teacher read it to my class. I thought it was scary at first but it turned out really good
An earthquake hits Never Land Island and strange happenings begin to occur: a barrel of gun powder washes ashore, falling into the hands of the pirates; the mermaids turn violent; and the boys, Shining Pearl, and Little Scallop are kidnapped. With time running out, the children must escape, figure out a way to save the mermaids, and stop Captain Hook before he destroys the Mollusk village.
The series, A Never Land Book, begins with Escape from Carnivale, followed by Cave of the Dark Wind.
