Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Magic Tree House is a successful series of children's books written by Mary Pope Osborne that is currently running after the first installment of the series (pictured to the right) was published in 1992. There are over fifty books in the series so far, not counting the research guides that go along with them.The books are about two kids from Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, siblings/kid heroes Jack and Annie. In the inaugural incarnation of the series, Morgan le Fay orders the kids to go on missions through time and all around the world to solve ancient riddles, save ancient stories, and become Master Librarians. This is possible through their tree house, which allows them to perform Time Travel (or travel inside books, it's not really made clear which).That was for the first 28 of the books, and the next series was about Jack and Annie going on Merlin Missions (missions directed by Merlin the magician), traveling to places like Camelot. The books teach kids about history and the different cultures that Jack and Annie visit.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })There's also a Japanese adaptation with manga illustrations. They all contain paper dolls of Jack and Annie with outfits corresponding to the stories. The first 28 volumes were published into 14 Japanese volumes, two stories to a book. After that, each book was published individually. There was also an anime movie by Ajia-Do based on the book series that was released in 2011.As of August 2012, nonfiction companions called Magic Tree House Fact Tracker books have been written for 27 installments of the original series.

Arbitrary Skepticism: Annie is afraid to enter an Old West ghost town. Jack attempts to reassure her by saying there's no such thing as ghosts, but as she points out, this is clearly untrue, as they met one in ancient Egypt.

comment
Darker and Edgier: The first Special Edition book, Danger in the Darkest Hour, takes place during World War II where they must save Kathleen during the Blitz. The movie makes Vacation Under the Volcano even darker by making Jack go through PTSD over nearly losing Annie and seeing many people die from the eruption. Perfect Time for Pandas is essentially a darker Earthquake in the Early Morning since it takes place during the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake and the deaths of all those pandas.

Anachronism Stew
 The Magic Tree House / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: A mild example in Dinosaurs Before Dark and The Movie. Jack and Annie encounter a Pteranodon at the end of the Late Cretaceous alongside Tyrannosaurus rex, when Pteranodon should have been extinct at that time. It's justified, however, in that the Pteranodon is actually a shape-shifted Morgan. The saber-toothed cat in Sunset of the Sabertooth is presumably a Machairodus (it lives in Europe and has a fairly long tail). The story takes place in the Pleistocene, and Machairodus died out in the late Miocene.

Alliterative Title
 The Magic Tree House / int_26b2747
comment
Alliterative Title: Used for most book titles (Lions at Lunchtime, Tigers at Twilight, Dolphins Before Daybreak, etc). Civil War on Sunday slightly subverts this, keeping the alliterative "S" sound intact but not featuring any words starting with the same letter. Ghost Town at Sundown averts this trope, featuring rhyming but no alliteration. The differing titles for the UK versions of the books are much looser with using this trope.

Foregone Conclusion: In Earthquake in the Early Morning, Jack read that many of the books that were being transferred were all going to burn...Unfortunately, the librarian didn't listen to him and happily wheels them off to their doom. Vacation Under the Volcano and Tonight on the Titanic have some emotional heft considering the events that they're based around (the destruction of Pompeii and the crash of the RMS Titanic).

Ptero Soarer: Annie befriends a Pteranodon, whom she names Henry, in Dinosaurs Before Dark. Henry is more accurate than most examples (pycnofibres, quadrupedal, non-grasping feet, The Movie shows him vaulting to take off), aside from living in the wrong time period and habitat as well as being too large and strong enough to carry two human children.

Adaptational Heroism: Morgan le Fay. In most permutations of the original King Arthur legend, she was a wicked and malevolent sorceress who sought to destroy Arthur, or at best a Trickster Mentor who put his knights through the magical wringer in order to teach them a lesson. Here, she is a sweet, kind and benevolent woman who helps Jack and Annie through their adventures. However, this is more in line with her first appearance in the writings of Geoffrey of Monmouth.

comment
Animorphism: Teddy the dog is actually a human boy who accidentally put himself into a spell by mistake. Morgan assumes the form of animals in most of the first four books - a Pteranodon in #1, a cat in #3 and a parrot in #4. She subsequently spends four books as a white mouse due to a prank pulled by Merlin, which also happens in The Movie. Jack and Annie also get into this too. They were transformed into ravens along with Teddy in Haunted Castle on Hallow's Eve and were turned into dogs in Dogs in the Dead of Night. Annie also transformed two rival wizards into ducks in Blizzard of the Blue Moon. At the end of the The Movie, Merlin gets turned into a mouse by Morgan as payback for doing the same to her, which sends Jack and Annie on another mission to change him back.

Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure
 The Magic Tree House / int_564caaae
comment
Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure: In the movie, the kids' third adventure to Pompeii has them witness the volcano erupt and the mass panic it causes, and Jack briefly loses track of Annie. After returning home, he learns from the book that most of the citizens of Pompeii died that day. The near-death experience deeply upsets Jack and leaves his confidence shaken, causing this with two different people: Jack's classmate, Tracy, who very clearly has a crush on him, had previously asked him to be in the school play as Romeo (while she's playing Juliet), and he agreed. But when she gives him the completed script for the play after this adventure, he backs out of it due to his loss of confidence, causing Tracy to become upset and run off. Luckily, after his faith in himself is restored in the fourth adventure, he makes up with her offscreen and does star in the play, and it's implied that he reciprocates her crush. He also gets this with Annie. After she makes the wish to travel to the pirate world to find the final medallion to save Morgan, Jack tells her that they can't save anyone since they're just kids, and refuses to take part in the adventure. Jack going back on their promise to help Morgan causes him to become a Broken Pedestal for Annie, who runs away in tears and tries to complete the adventure by herself, only to be captured by the pirates soon after finding the last medallion. It becomes a Rebuilt Pedestal once Jack comes to save her after learning she's in danger, which also breaks him out of his funk.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?

comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Annie can go through just about anything... but has a paralyzing fear of spiders. Shown prominently in Summer of the Sea Serpent. In Afternoon on the Amazon, Jack complains about this, saying that he doesn't understand how she can be freaked out about visiting a jungle full of bugs after being fine with meeting dinosaurs, pirates, ninjas and ghosts.

Not Allowed to Grow Up: Averted. It seems this way, as we are constantly told that Jack is 7 and Annie is 6. But in Winter of the Ice Wizard, Annie states that she's 9 and Jack is already 10, which means at most 3 years have passed since that time. In Soccer on Sunday, they are ten and eleven, respectively.

Big Brother Instinct: Jack towards Annie, big time. She ends up in trouble in several books, and he's always quick to rush to her rescue. In the movie, when he learns that she's been captured by pirates, he rides a dolphin all the way from the shore to the pirate ship to save her. Annie also inverts it with a Little Sister Instinct towards Jack. In the books, she's quick to become a Bully Hunter when people pick on her brother, and in the movie, she outright takes a bullet for him when a pirate tries to shoot him.

Invisibility: The supposed ghosts in Haunted Castle on Hallow's Eve are actually three kids and their dog trapped in their state because the Raven King stole the Diamond of Destiny they were supposed to guard. Subverted in Danger in the Darkest Hour; Kathleen casted an invisibility spell to protect Jack — who must drive a bakery van filled with Jewish children past a Nazi outpost — and make them unnoticed. It's only after Jack successfully drives forward does she tell that she didn't; the hopelesness of the situation derived her of her magic.

Jack's classmate, Tracy, who very clearly has a crush on him, had previously asked him to be in the school play as Romeo (while she's playing Juliet), and he agreed. But when she gives him the completed script for the play after this adventure, he backs out of it due to his loss of confidence, causing Tracy to become upset and run off. Luckily, after his faith in himself is restored in the fourth adventure, he makes up with her offscreen and does star in the play, and it's implied that he reciprocates her crush.

Nice Mice: In the second arc, Jack and Annie discover a small brown and white mouse, whom Annie names Peanut, in the treehouse; she proves very friendly and helpful in the ensuing adventures, with book 8 revealing she was the one who was setting up the books for each of their four adventures. Justified, since Peanut is actually a transformed Morgan, and the arc is about breaking the spell that transformed her.

Exact Words
 The Magic Tree House / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: In Blizzard of the Blue Moon, Jack and Annie need to call out the name of a unicorn known as 'Divine Flower of Rome'. Unfortunately, the poem didn't state that the two had to say his name in Latin — which is Dianthus — and thus got them into a bit of trouble later on. In Haunted Castle on Hallow's Eve, the rhyme Teddy uses to make himself into a raven ("Make me a raven, one, two, three!") is misinterpreted as him, Jack and Annie transformed into ravens. Abe Lincoln at Last! plays with this a lot. Willie tells Jack and Annie that he'll take them to President Lincoln...who also happens to be his dad. Later, when the two wish to talk to Lincoln all by his lonesome, they get dragged to the past where they meet a boy named Sam...aka younger Abe Lincoln.

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy
 The Magic Tree House / int_ec7da60a
comment
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: For some reason, a lot of the Historical Domain Characters know a lot more about the tree house and the kids' missions than they should and are suspiciously cooperative. This is averted in Good Night For Ghosts with Louis Armstrong. He has no clue about it and is just too busy making money for his family. After using the Wand of Dianthus and Louis having no sense of what to do next, Annie tells Jack that they actually have to show him the book that teleported them to his time to set things straight. Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Louis Pasteur, and Gustave Eiffel from Night of the New Magicians seem to think that Jack and Annie are crazy. They're nice about it, though. In the "Master Librarians" story arc, Jack and Annie find that the wise people they show their cards to on each journey are familiar with the organization and even with Morgan herself.
