A surprising and refreshing reminder of our country’s imperfect and noble start。

Jack and Annie are transported back to Old Philadelphia to help Benjamin Franklin decide on signing an important document。 They bring Ben back to their time to show him how much importance his decision is for the future of the United States。 We learned about the Bill of Rights， the Constitution and Declaration of Independence。 Ben was a man of his time。

I think they should have made Ben Franklin go meet other people and show him how it looked

We love most all of the Magic Treehouse books but this is a particularly good one。 The way it teaches about the life of Ben Franklin and his role in creating the US constitution along with creating the first public library is engaging and memorable。 Excellent history resource！

This was a great book on the subject of Ben Franklin。 I like how the author gave so much history on his life and some of his many accomplishments in a way that children can understand。 I was just as interested while reading it as my son was if not more！

Jack and Annie have a mission to help Ben Franklin decide to sign the Constitution！ Throughout this book they learn about things that Ben Franklin has been apart of and invented。 It is a great book to learn about Ben Franklin in a fun way！ This is a easy book to read for elementary children。 It is good for kids interested in learning about history， presidents， and/or significant people that have contributed to the United States。

This was an interesting one because it had a bit of a twist towards the end。 Also it has a good message we all should be thinking about。 “E pluribus unum” Keep that in mind in times like this！

It was okay I guess。 As an adult I pick up on far more than a kid would， and it is just hard to know where this author is coming from。The US is a republic， not a democracy。 I don't know how many times I have to make that point。Ben Franklin， and the rest of the founders， had some serious misgivings about slavery。 He was not the only one， and it is by no means the linchpin of the US Constitution。Franklin would be utterly disgusted by the government and society of today。 The left is literally teari It was okay I guess。 As an adult I pick up on far more than a kid would， and it is just hard to know where this author is coming from。The US is a republic， not a democracy。 I don't know how many times I have to make that point。Ben Franklin， and the rest of the founders， had some serious misgivings about slavery。 He was not the only one， and it is by no means the linchpin of the US Constitution。Franklin would be utterly disgusted by the government and society of today。 The left is literally tearing the country apart， and no amount of public libraries would change his opinion。 。。。more

Ben Franklin was sure freaked out by what he saw when the kids brought him to the year 2019。 I can relate， the things I see in 2019 scare me too lol

I personally would rate this money five， but Eleanor chose to rated a four。 This is one of my new favorites。 I loved that they took Benjamin Franklin to see the future， though it scared him。 The best one we have read to date。

I read this book aloud to my kindergarten twin boys as I have all of the other Magic Tree House books。 These books are quick， fun reads and that they teach a little history along the way。 In this adventure， Jack and Annie visit Ben Franklin and help him as he decides to sign the Constitution of the United States。

89 pages。 Another adventure awaits Jack and Annie。 This time they travel to Philadelphia and meet Benjamin Franklin。 He is having trouble deciding whether to sign the constitution document。 Jack and Annie decide he must travel into the future to see what all his legacy includes。 Interesting twist on the series。 I think kids will enjoy this one。 Highly recommended for grades 3-5。

It's been a few years since I've read a Magic Tree House， but when we saw this new adventure of Jack and Annie， we took it home to read。 This is one of the stronger of the books and we all enjoyed the twist of Franklin coming to current time。 In fact， the end reads a bit like an encouraging love letter to America in these current turbulent and troubling times。 It's been a few years since I've read a Magic Tree House， but when we saw this new adventure of Jack and Annie， we took it home to read。 This is one of the stronger of the books and we all enjoyed the twist of Franklin coming to current time。 In fact， the end reads a bit like an encouraging love letter to America in these current turbulent and troubling times。 。。。more

I have mixed feelings about the Magic Tree House "reboot。" My main concern， however， is just that I'm unsure as to how the "new" 29-32 fit into the chronology of the story; like， do these take place between the original 28 and the Merlin Missions？ Or do these relegate the Merlin Missions to an alternate universe？ And are the kids 7 and 8， or are they 10 and 11 as we left them in Night of the Ninth Dragon？ A lot of questions。 That being said， the new stories are written in a funnier style with a I have mixed feelings about the Magic Tree House "reboot。" My main concern， however， is just that I'm unsure as to how the "new" 29-32 fit into the chronology of the story; like， do these take place between the original 28 and the Merlin Missions？ Or do these relegate the Merlin Missions to an alternate universe？ And are the kids 7 and 8， or are they 10 and 11 as we left them in Night of the Ninth Dragon？ A lot of questions。 That being said， the new stories are written in a funnier style with a faster pace， and that's good for Gen Z and their soon-to-be-kids， who are more used to media in that style。 If the goal is to return to the youngest MTH demographic and secure new readers for future books， then I very much think that goal has been accomplished。 。。。more

In this MTH book Jack and Annie are sent back to 1787 to help Benjamin Franklin。 Ben is not sure whether or not he should sign the constitution of the United States and Jack and Annie need to bring him to the future to convince him why he should sign it。I think MPO does a good job of bringing together actual events and adding some fiction to them to make them more interesting to younger kids。 My boys have read all of the books， so I wanted to get this one for them too （I ended up reading it to t In this MTH book Jack and Annie are sent back to 1787 to help Benjamin Franklin。 Ben is not sure whether or not he should sign the constitution of the United States and Jack and Annie need to bring him to the future to convince him why he should sign it。I think MPO does a good job of bringing together actual events and adding some fiction to them to make them more interesting to younger kids。 My boys have read all of the books， so I wanted to get this one for them too （I ended up reading it to them）。 I didn't feel as though there was as much information about Ben Franklin in this book as there are about other characters/time periods in other books， but it has been awhile since I read one so I could be mistaken。 My boys are 11 & 8 and I felt that they are on the older side for these books。 It is a super short read with black and white illustrations and great books for kids that are starting to read chapter books。 。。。more

Quick read about all the wonderful things Ben Franklin created and did。 As he and delegates meet to write the Constitution， Ben becomes discouraged that the vision of democracy will not happen。 It’s up to Jack and Annie to persuade him to fight for and sign the new document。

The entire Magic Tree House series is a gift to children’s literature， but this particular volume was truly a fantastic read。 I absolutely adored it。

Listened to this with the kids during our road trip from Cooperstown to Philadelphia。 They loved it and remembered parts and connections when we went to the Ben Franklin museum the next day。Jack and Annie go see Ben Franklin struggling to reach a compromise with the group writing the Constitution。 Jack and Annie bring him to present day Frog Creek。 He loves the library and can see what an impact they will make。
