Soccer on Sunday (Magic Tree House Merlin Mission)

Helped finish a series

Our 5 year old picked this book for our read aloud story. The prologue gives insight about the magic treehouse and brings you up to speed a bit since it’s not the first book, which is very helpful because we would’ve been lost on the magic part without an explanation. The story is simple enough for our young child to follow and has good vocabulary and complexity for the recommended ages 7-10. The story is interwoven with lessons on history, culture, language, problem solving, and kindness. The story I give a 5 Star review.Unfortunately our product arrived with the cover very bent/wrinkled and a couple pages were folded, I don’t think it was new. 3⭐️For the actual condition of the book.

Will this dream come true, and will Jack and Annie find the secret of greatness?The author pens another intriguing installment to this fun-filled series, which I've followed in the past. Young readers will be inspired by the exciting story, which encourages team-work, and discipline of the sports world. The illustrations bring the colorful characters to life as the delightful story enhances reading skills for children in grades 2-5. Highly recommended for parents, teachers, and child-care providers.

Fantastic story, have yet to have a disappointment with the series. My kids love to read them all!

The Magic Tree House series is great for any third or fourth grade kid. This particular book, Soccer on Sundays, is great for any soccer fan. The Magic Tree House series, is fictional history and combines the imagination with facts to keep the interest of a kid. My child who loves soccer really enjoyed this book, as well as other Magic Tree House books.

My twins have been enjoying the Magic Tree House books! Each book teaches them something new either about a person, time or place in history. The author has done a great job incorporating learning so many different things into these books.

Another great book from Mary Pope Osbourne. Our kids have loved this series from the beginning. The way the author can pull you into the story is great for readers especially young readers. My wife takes turns with our girls reading & they absolutely love it. They can't wait to start reading when a new book comes out. One adventure after another. So you know that boys or girls will enjoy this. It is a chapter book so it is a little hard for kids learning to read but read with an adult the story is enjoyed easier.

I purchased this book and three others for my grandson. He plays soccer and I thought he would really enjoy this book. He loves it!The book includes a meeting with the soccer great, Pele. It gave me a chance to teach my grandson some soccer history as well.

Highly recommend these.

Kids are enjoying the Magic Tree House series. Well worth it.
