Reid and I read this together for reading practice。 I read every other page to keep him from getting discouraged。 He had listened to it before but on his own （several times last year） but it was new to me。 I found the beginning very slow， and the plot not particularly interesting on the whole。 Reid only remembered the cliff scene from previous reads and I can see why， it was the only exciting part。 There are many more exciting magic tree house books out there unless you are a completist I would Reid and I read this together for reading practice。 I read every other page to keep him from getting discouraged。 He had listened to it before but on his own （several times last year） but it was new to me。 I found the beginning very slow， and the plot not particularly interesting on the whole。 Reid only remembered the cliff scene from previous reads and I can see why， it was the only exciting part。 There are many more exciting magic tree house books out there unless you are a completist I would read some of the others instead。 。。。more

Nolan Brendel ，

I liked it because Florence Nightengale was a nurse and they also babysat a baby baboon。

Winifred ，

I loved it。 The baby baboon was cute， and I especially liked the part where Jack and Annie climbed the cliff。review from 6 years old。

Pour cette 46° aventure ， les deux personnages centraux de la série des cabanes magiques retournent en Egypte mais en 1850 et non plus au temps des pyramides。 Bien difficile cette fois de réaliser la mission qui leur a été confiée par Merlin。 Du point de vue du scénario， on retrouve les ingrédients de base même si l'action connaît un essoufflement après une trentaine de pages avec l'adjonction de personnages périphériques qui n'apportent pas grand chose au récit。 Celui-ci reprend un rythme plus Pour cette 46° aventure ， les deux personnages centraux de la série des cabanes magiques retournent en Egypte mais en 1850 et non plus au temps des pyramides。 Bien difficile cette fois de réaliser la mission qui leur a été confiée par Merlin。 Du point de vue du scénario， on retrouve les ingrédients de base même si l'action connaît un essoufflement après une trentaine de pages avec l'adjonction de personnages périphériques qui n'apportent pas grand chose au récit。 Celui-ci reprend un rythme plus soutenu dans la deuxième moitié du livre avec un épisode palpitent dans la vallée des reines。 Apprécié par deux de mes petits-enfants âgés de 8 ans 。。。more

I liked that this book focused on Flo N。 before she became a storied nurse， because from what I hear， 19th century Crimean hospitals are no place for impressionable children。

treehouse。 They soon discovered that in the magic treehouse there were lots of books and when they point to a picture in the book and make a wish to go there the magic treehouse just magically transports them there！ They soon learned that the treehouse belongs to Morgan Le Fay from Camelot。 Jack and Annie have helped Morgan with a humongous amount of missions in all places and time periods with the help of the magic treehouse。 However in Merlin Missions it is not however Morgan that sends them on these missions。 It is Merlin， a fantastic magician。 During Merlin Missions， Jack and Annie make two friends named Teddy and Kathleen。 They soon completed four missions that showed they could properly handle magic。 On those missions， they were given a book of ten magic rhymes to use on four missions。 Each rhyme can only be used once。 Since they succeeded in those four missions， they were given the Wand of Dianthus。 A magic wand that could create magic。 Soon Merlin was not well， and not cheerful at all。 Jack and Annie found four secrets of happiness for him， and now he is happy again。 However the biggest thing that cheered him up was a little penguin named Penny Jack and Annie had gotten from their last mission to find the last secret of happiness for Merlin。 That mission had taken place in Antarctica。 Then， after those missions， they helped a girl named Augusta， Mozart， Louis Armstrong， and Charles Dickens。 After that， they helped save Penny from a spell Teddy accidentally casted on him by finding four special objects。 Last adventure， they figured out they were going to find four secrets of greatnesses for Merlin。 They already found two， and this is their mission where they are going to find the third secret of greatness…In this book， as usual， for a reason， Jack and Annie decided to visit the magic treehouse。 Today they are going to find the third secret of greatness for Merlin？ With who？ With Florence！ Florence Nightingale！ In the treehouse， the note from Merlin helped them figure this out。 They also found a research book that says they are going to Ancient Egypt。 Annie knows quite a lot about Florence and doesn’t remember that she ever been to Egypt。 How surprising。 They also found a ring and a potion。 The ring glows when they find a secret of greatness and when they smell the potion they can have any talent they wish for one hour。 They decided to get started。 They pointed at the research book and wished to go there。 They all of a sudden appeared there， the place their mission is going to take place。 They first heard donkeys。 They went down the treehouse。 They met a boy named Ali。 He was selling donkeys。 Later， they met a English traveller named Selina。 She says she is friends with Florence and offered to take them to her。 So far so good。 However， Florence is a very famous nurse。 Selina says the Florence she is talking about is not a nurse at all！ Have they found the wrong Florence？ Later， they met Florence on a boat。 They also met a countess and a couple。 A very impolite and rude couple。 They are not kind at all。 Soon， Florence left mainly because of this rude couple。 It would be much better if they weren’t on this boat。 Then Florence might not have left。 Selina also left。 Soon， even Jack and Annie got into a fight with the couple and were ordered to leave the boat。 They were happy to leave。 But how about Florence？ If they leave， they won’t be able to learn from Florence？ They left。 Then， they hid and waited。 Soon， they bumped into the countess and her pet monkey。 The pet monkey is named Koku。 Koku really likes Annie。 The Countess asked Annie to babysit Koku for a few hours。 In spite of their mission， Annie accepted。 Now， they needed to take care of a monkey and complete their mission。 They soon noticed Florence。 She was about to go to the Valley of the Queens。 Annie and Jack managed to ride with her to the western shore。 Then， she said she must leave。 Jack and Annie said it’s okay。 However， she left and they were upset。 They must stay with her to learn a secret of greatness with her。 So， they rented donkeys from Ali and followed Florence。 Ali warned them that there might be dangerous stuff out there before dark like Jackals。 Jack and Annie said they would be in the way before dark。 Not long after， they saw some tombs。 Jack turned away。 However， Annie just had to see what was inside and nothing was stopping her。 Their camels started acting strangely。 Then， they ran away。 Something leapt out of the tomb。 Jackals！ They had to run。 Koku soon attracted the jackals’ attention。 The jackals went chasing after Koku。 Jack and Annie rushed to save Koku。 However， Koku was on a high cliff。 They couldn’t get her！ She climbed on the cliff to get away from the jackals！ Now she can’t get down！ And neither can Jack or Annie get up to rescue Koku！ Later， for a reason， because they rescued Koku they got hurt！ How can they get back to Florence and learn a secret of greatness from her when they are badly hurt？ And is it the right Florence？ Selina says Florence is not a very famous nurse。 Can they even get home with their injuries？ What are they going to do？ 。。。more

sie möchte alleine sein， möchte in Ruhe nachdenken。 Unbeirrt jedoch bleiben Philipp und Anne der unglücklichen Frau auf den Fersen， zum einen bestrebt， Merlins Mission zu erfüllen und zum anderen interessiert daran herauszufinden， warum sie denn so abweisend ist。 Dabei geraten sie natürlich – und diesmal ist das nicht， wie in den Vorgängerbänden， Annes Eigenmächtigkeit zu verdanken – in ernste Schwierigkeiten， die Wüste und deren Gefahren sträflich unterschätzend。 Ja， und dann kommt Hilfe von unerwarteter Seite – uns sie finden schließlich auch das dritte Geheimnis wahrer Größe！Mary Pope Osbornes Serie „Das magische Baumhaus“， mit der sie in den 90er Jahren begonnen hat， ist zu Recht eine der erfolgreichsten Kinderbuchreihen。 Die Verbindung von interessanten Sachinformationen mit spannender Unterhaltung gelingt der Autorin zumeist hervorragend。 Doch vielleicht nutzen sich auch Erfolgsrezepte ab？！ Bereits die Bände vor der Geschichte um Florence Nightingale konnten mich nicht recht überzeugen， irgendetwas fehlte， schmeckte fad – ganz so， als sei der alte Schwung dahin。 So wirkt die Handlung des zu besprechenden neuen Abenteuers insgesamt mühsam konstruiert， ist langatmig und die Dialoge sind so nichtssagend wie langweilig und schlichtweg überflüssig。 Und diejenige， die eigentlich die Hauptperson sein und im Mittelpunkt stehen sollte， taucht nur ganz am Rande auf und ist dann nicht einmal sonderlich sympathisch。 Man fragt sich unwillkürlich， wie diese schroffe Frau zu einer so hoch verehrten Heldin hatte werden können。 Es erscheint mir überdies ungünstig， die beiden braven Musterkinder Philipp und Anne – denn das sind sie ganz gewiss， obschon Anne auch recht eigensinnig sein kann！ - auf eine Florence Nightingale treffen zu lassen， die noch auf der Suche ist nach ihrer wahren Bestimmung， die zerrissen ist und frustriert von den Einschränkungen， denen junge Frauen ihrer Zeit unterworfen waren。 Aber wie hätte die Alternative ausgesehen？ Zwar haben Philipp und seine Schwester schon einige gefahrvolle Reisen unternommen， nie zuvor aber waren sie auf einem echten Kriegsschauplatz。 Und ob es den amerikanischen Lesern – denen vor allem！ - gefallen würde， die jungen Helden mitten im Kriegsgetümmel auf der Krim anzutreffen， der Zeit nämlich， als Florence Nightingale ihre Berufung schließlich gefunden hatte， muss bezweifelt werden。。。 Also bleibt eine lauwarme Geschichte mit einer blassen Heldin， von der man sich nicht recht vorzustellen vermag， dass sie jemals zu einer solchen werden könnte und die sicher auch kein Interesse an einer näheren Bekanntschaft mit der später so umtriebigen und， wie bezeugt ist， ebenso faszinierenden Britin wecken konnte！ Bleibt zu hoffen， dass die Amerikanerin Mary Pope Osborne in den folgenden Bänden wieder zu ihrer alten Form zurückfinden möge！ 。。。more

I quite liked the idea of this "hero quartet" taking place before any of these historic celebrities hit their stride。 For example， instead of telling a Florence Nightingale story during the war， it tells it while she's on vacation in Egypt。 The unexpected settings and stories are really what set the Merlin Missions apart。 They're just a great little sub-series。 I quite liked the idea of this "hero quartet" taking place before any of these historic celebrities hit their stride。 For example， instead of telling a Florence Nightingale story during the war， it tells it while she's on vacation in Egypt。 The unexpected settings and stories are really what set the Merlin Missions apart。 They're just a great little sub-series。 。。。more
