My kids are going to grow up on a strict diet of Bailey School Kids, Pony Pals, and The Babysitters Club, supplemented now and then with the occasional Boxcar Children.

Now looking back the Magic Treehouse books were so wild lmao every book was like “sure let’s send these fucking 8-year olds on some traumatizing life-threatening adventures which don’t affect them at all cause it always turns out to be fun in the end”

This particular scene in Dogs in the Dead of Night Chapter 3 is so funny cause Annie’s all like: “We might be a little bit small but we’re still serious adventurers” and Brother Michael is like “Wtf you guys aren’t even in your 10’s yet where are your parents” like this adventure happened in real time, right? How was no one concerned on what a bunch of little kids was doing in a place with a high casualty rate? 😭

I think the Magic Treehouse series would be amazing if it got like an adult show adaption where Jack and Annie are aged up to like 15-16 cause like why 8??? You could’ve at least aged them up to 10 or 12 yeesh.

If I remember right, the first "Arthurian Literature"* I was exposed to was my second grade teacher reading Magic Treehouse books to the class for our half hour of After Lunch Reading Time. Fine, whatever, except she pronounced Morgan's name as "Morgan Lee Fey". Even at the time I was pretty sure that wasn't right, but I couldn't put my finger on why.

*in the broadest possible definition of the term

THE MAGIC TREEHOUSE SERIES

The Magic Tree House book saga is an ongoing and prolific collection encompassing approximately 66 books of fiction and 44 non-fiction, for a total of 110 books—with many more set to release.

These books are divided into three large series: Magic Tree House, Merlin Missions, and Fact Tracker. The first two are the main entries in the series, while the latter is a supplementary non-fiction collection meant to provide the “facts behind the fiction” in Jack and Annie’s adventures.

This Young Adult Series was one that was so much fun for me to read as a kid. I used to have the complete series growing up but ended up losing them in a subsequent move between States. Now, I am trying to track down all the books for my kids without breaking the bank.

They include History, Science and Magic in such a fun and exciting way, that I am hoping it will help spark my kid's wanting to learn more and becoming more interested in reading.

Me: I would never write merlin crossover fanfiction honestly I don't even vibe with him in a remotely more "modern" setting, and the shows magic system is enough of a vauge headache without splicing it together with H*rry P*tter or Supernatural or god forbid Dr.Who-

Me, rereading The Magic Treehouse: .....wait a second

the private life of international celebrity Sam Butler is that she lives in a house with her partner who is mildy haunted by shadow demons, and his ex slash her childhood friend slash their best friend lives in a van on her driveway and every Sunday their other best friend who has bird wings flies over the sea to England from Chicago to have dinner with them

I feel like there is a pipeline from liking Magic Treehouse to liking Doctor Who

While all the Junie B Jones and Bunnicula books I had are now long gone, I do still have one (1) Magic Treehouse book and a pile of Dear Canadas-

(That's not even anywhere near all the Dear Canadas, I just picked a few for the picture)

CORVUS CROSSING: A CHARM FAMILY STORY. CHAPTER I "BOY, YOU'LL BE A MAN REAL SOON." PART XXI. Transcript Beneath the Cut.

DAMIEN: Is that my hoodie?

ETHAN: MotherFUCKer! [His voice cracks and squeaks a little bit, making Damien snort and laugh hard.] Stop sneaking up on me you stupid bitch or I swear to the Fates I'll put a bell on you — holy fuck that's creepy and I hate it! [He pauses for a moment, catching his breath after being startled.] What are you even doing up?! You were totally dead to the world like a minute ago!

DAMIEN: I'd ask if you missed the loud-ass thunder and the fact that the building was vibrating but considering you're this freaked out I'm gonna guess you definitely heard it. I woke up to make sure you were okay.

ETHAN: I'm fine. [He frowns, seemingly annoyed.] I don't even get that freaked out by storms anymore, I'm not 12.

DAMIEN: Uh-huh. That wouldn't even be convincing to someone that doesn't know you. Come on…

ETHAN: Also I thought this was my hoodie, it's dark in here…

DAMIEN: [He just smiles, not bothering to argue, tossing Ethan down onto his bed and crawling in with him.] You don't want me to hold your hand til you fall asleep then? You're good for real?

ETHAN: …Pft. [He narrows his eyes and scoffs.] Give it here.

DAMIEN: No. [He grins.] You don't need me or my hoodie… [mockingly] You're not 12…

ETHAN: [Glowering, he grabs Damien's hand and laces their fingers together.] Give. It. Here.

DAMIEN: [He snickers, giving Ethan's hand a gentle squeeze before using his grip on it to pull Ethan into his arms.] Brat.

ETHAN: [Incoherent, muffled and tired mumbling as he snuggles in closer to bury his face in Damien's chest.]

The poets as the computer games I used to play as a child

Animal jam - Cameron, try to tell me he wouldn’t love to go to each location and find every item in the book to get a cool item to decorate his den, the meticulousness involved and the sense of triumph after, like tell me that is not something Cameron would love, and all the little mini games, the little animal-specific exclusive parties, the trading and bargaining with people, obtaining so many stuffed animals that keep filling up your den but you put them all in there anyway, customizing his den, like he would have a blast on there

Poptropica - Meeks, he would love completing all the islands and the problem solving aspects to each, he would probably make videos like the thinknoodle walkthroughs everyone watched when they got stuck on the islands

Club penguin - Neil, the loss of this one was so mourned, it was taken too soon from this world and when people talk of this one, it’s usually with an air of sorrow over its death, even still today, just like Neil

Pbs kids website - Todd, don’t have to interact with anyone, can just sit and play all the fun little single player games based on all your favorite tv shows cause your family didn’t get Disney channel, so you grew up on pbs kids on cable (Arthur is better than anything on Disney and you can fight me on that, and Martha speaks theme song slapped)

Webkinz - Knox, seems like a fun and wholesome and innocent game caring for your pets but those ducks are creepy, something’s wrong with them, they haunt my nightmares, not even my dreams, but my nightmares, just like how Knox seemed caring and wholesome and innocent but then he started being creepy to Chris

Moshi monsters - Pitts, idk something about moshi monsters just screams Pitts to me, I can’t explain it

Kizi but specifically and exclusively the haunt the house game where you were a ghost and had to scare everyone out of the house by possessing objects in the house as that is like the only game I would play on kizi out of the countless games they had - Charlie, he literally pretended to be a dead poet and jumped out scaring Meeks in the movie, he was playing this before the internet was even a thing (plus I didn’t want the low blow of saying Neil cause he’s a ghost now)

Moviestarplanet - Chris I think she would have fun buying outfits and accessories (using fake in-game money, my parents would never let me use real money so everything I had to do was free, which I think was fundamental to me now refusing to play any online game that forces me to use real money because I was disillusioned to the concept of paying for fun) and dressing up her little dude and playing the fun little games and making little movies on there using her and her friends movie stars and such
