In this novel Jack and Annie are involved in a shark attack on the coast of Mexico. This book teaches kids some historical information and scientific facts. ( )

Great for early readers.

The title is misleading, since sharks have next to nothing to do with this story.
It's about the Ancient Aztec culture of Mexico. It's still good and I wish I paid more attention to their companion, because I'd like to learn more about her. ( )

This book is about a brother and sister named Jack and Annie who go complete missions around the world in a magic tree house. This time they wish to go on a beach vacation and while at the coral reef a shark attacks. This book is good for all ages. This book uses descriptive language that makes you feel like you are actually in these places. This book can also be used to in many different subjects such as reading, writing, social studies. I highly recommend this book. ( )

This book starts out when Teddy, a young sorcerer, offers to send Jack and Annie on a dream vacation. The brother-and-sister pair wish for a trip to a beach paradise, and the magic tree house whisks them off to the coast of Mexico. Everything starts out perfectly as they raft around a coral reef. But then a hungry shark attacks! This book has notable features such as descriptive language. I would use this book as an instructional application to allow the students to write their own adventure story. ( )
