It was a decent read. It may have probably been best if I started from the beginning of the series as opposed to starting with book #5 but I understood what was going on. Both Jack and Annie are travelers who travel to different places through pictures in books by the use of a Magical tree house that belongs to Morgan Le Fey. In Night of the Ninjas the siblings realize that Morgan needs their help. The magical librarian has left behind an unfinished message for them with clues, they must find four things and to do this they must travel back to ancient Japan where ninjas and samurai were quite common.
I like ninjas so I borrowed the book from my friend and read it in about 15 minutes, a nice read but not interesting enough for me to continue onto the next book to find out how Jack and Annie will help Morgan. If I was the intended target reader though I'm sure I would have enjoyed this much more :).
I finally got around to reading the first five books of the Magic Tree House series, and I have to say that these are perfect for my early chapter book readers. We've got a boy and a girl main character...check. We've got adventure and action...check. We've got readable text...check. What more could I ask for?
