MAGIC TREE HOUSE #38: DARK DAY OF THE DEEP SEA

MAGIC TREE HOUSE #38: DARK DAY OF THE DEEP SEA By: Mary Pope Osborne Illustrated by: Sal Murdocca I recommend this book because Mary Pope Osborne is one of my favorite authors and the series is so interesting and magical that they go to certain places in the tree house. This story is about when Jack and Annie go to this island and find scientists that are trying to catch an octopus. Oh no! The octopus got in the net!!! Read and find out what happens next! What I liked about the story was that they went underwater and they are just swimming until they run in to an octopus. The scientists told them to get the octopus higher up in the water so they can catch it in the net and then kill it. I also liked that the octopus grabbed Jack and Annie and brought them to shore.
