Henry loved it. We didn't realize it was #10 in a series, so he's starting with #1.

Now that we have exhausted the Captain Underpants series, my son, Sam has moved onto this series. He can read them independently but sometimes has problems following the storyline, so we often read them together. Sam likes that one of the characters in the book shares his name. He also likes the sarcastic tone and the descriptions of historical figures. He requests I check a new one out each time we visit the library.

Like the immensely popular Magic Tree House series, except minus the tree house and plus a whole bunch of sarcasm. This particular volume included a lot of haikus as the Trio went back in time to 1600 Japan. Great for boys.

I recommend this series to reluctant readers who are looking for something quick, but fun. I've had boys and girls read through the entire series. As an adult, I thought they were just okay. I do like that they introduce students to famous historical figures and time periods.
