Trey Auntie Paige ，

It was funny when they switched the hats。

Sarah ，

My son enjoyed it although he already knew the story of Jackie Robinson。 I found the book overly simplistic， personally。

Tristin Willis ，

Students loved it！

Vidyuth Gowtham ，

I think the book should have made Jackie Robinson harder to get

Lorin Walls ，

It does have one historical figure， Jackie Robinson， but it is also fantasy。 This is a great book for 1st-2nd grade。 Students can read this and get their imaginations through reading。

Jason Anthony ，

Very disappointed at how little Jackie Robinson is part of this book， though the “local kids” approach was a nice touch。

Leah Agirlandaboy ，

My first Magic Treehouse book！

Biana Vacker ，

In my opinion it was kind of boring 。 Probably because the last time I read these books I was younger

Ruth Lopez-Castro ，

This book was fun， cute， and informative！ I really like that the book includes historical information/events but still at an understandable appropriate level for younger readers。 I really liked that mystery， adventure， and history was all combined。

1。 n/a2。 2-33。 In the classic "Magic Treehouse" series fashion， siblings Jack and Annie travel magically back in time to a baseball game in Brooklyn in 1947 where they become bat-boys and meet the historical baseball icon， Jackie Robinson， as he debuts as one of the first black baseball players in the major leagues。 Jack and Annie are there to hear all of the harsh heckling that Robinson receives from the crowd， most notably hearing them shout "Go back where you came from！" and "You don't belong 1。 n/a2。 2-33。 In the classic "Magic Treehouse" series fashion， siblings Jack and Annie travel magically back in time to a baseball game in Brooklyn in 1947 where they become bat-boys and meet the historical baseball icon， Jackie Robinson， as he debuts as one of the first black baseball players in the major leagues。 Jack and Annie are there to hear all of the harsh heckling that Robinson receives from the crowd， most notably hearing them shout "Go back where you came from！" and "You don't belong here！"。 When Jack and Annie eventually end up listening along to the radio playing the game that Robinson is playing in with members of a black family， instead of hearing heckling， they hear cheering from them and sense that they are filled with joy and pride。4。 I believe that this book perfectly depicts the environment of this historical day in baseball in such a suitable way from children。 I commend this book for approaching the racist views held at the time and making it clear that Jack and Annie find the way that the hecklers treat Robinson to be wrong and extremely harsh。 It's also important that the book didn't focus completely on the negatives and instead also included the pride felt by other black Americans as Robinson took the field。5。 As this book focuses on the environment around Jackie Robinson's debut and doesn't give too much detail about the rest of Robinson's biography， teachers could provide more resources of his background and life story for the students to research。 Students can then share information they learn on a poster in the shape of a home plate and will be displayed around the classroom。 Students will then "round the bases" and see what information their classmates have shared on their posters。 。。。more

Victor Medina ，

Read this with my son。 A great way to introduce him to Jackie Robinson。

Victoria Clanton ，

I let my students pick this book because they are so ready doe baseball season。 All of my boys play baseball so reading this was so much fun for them！

Kendall Todd ，

I’ve always been a big fan of the magic treehouse books， I’m also a huge baseball fan！ This book allows students to dive into the story of Jackie Robinson and how he earned his name in the game of baseball。 This would be great for students that are facing a challenge， or simply love baseball！

Kim ，

What a great day in history to visit with my son。 We learned about baseball， being a batboy and their duties， about racism back then and self respect。

Jessica ，

I liked it， but it was a little boring。

Susan ，

Fun story。

Kari ，

This was a library read I started with my students and wanted to finish on my own。。 I really enjoyed this easy read。 There was a lot of history for students and great life lessons， about being brave in the face of difficult times。

Laurel Horner ，

Racism fortunately has gotten better since 1947 but I feel we still have a way to go。

Ms。 McGregor ，

This book briefly mentions racism and slavery but with little to no explanation or meaningful context。 Make sure you supplement your kids’ reading with some conversations on these topics， especially （but not only） if they ask。

Reading with Ms。 Gallardo ，

You can never go wrong with having this series in your classroom library！ These books are perfect for 1st- 3rd graders。 They also make a fun read-aloud for the whole class。 Every Magic Tree House book has a non-fiction companion which is helpful if you need them for a specific lesson。

Don ，

This was a thoughtful children’s book that explains the experiences of Jackie Robinson and segregated America in a delicate way。

Charlie ，

Very cool story， loved the historical twist。

Austin ，

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

Jane ，

What do you do when your 7-year-old grandson hands you the book he just finished and says， "you should read this nana。 You would really like it。"？ You read it of course！ And then you find out that these books are really quite good and informative。 And they have a good message as well。 But the best part is that my geandson would even think to offer me the opportunity to read something he liked！ What do you do when your 7-year-old grandson hands you the book he just finished and says， "you should read this nana。 You would really like it。"？ You read it of course！ And then you find out that these books are really quite good and informative。 And they have a good message as well。 But the best part is that my geandson would even think to offer me the opportunity to read something he liked！ 。。。more

Sarah - All The Book Blog Names Are Taken ，

Eleanor says: I liked it because Otis and Olive helped Jack and Annie。 They helped them since they got kicked out of the game。 They helped them with secret shortcuts。 I didn’t like when the not nice people said mean things Jackie Robinson。
