Summary

Jack and Annie continue their quest for the secrets of happiness-secrets they need if they're going to save Merlin. But when the magic tree house leads them to a tiny deserted island in the middle of the ocean, they're not sure who needs help more-Merlin or themselves! The brother and sister team are soon rescued by a ship of explorers and scientists. But the crew isn't looking for the secrets of happiness. The crew is looking for . . . a sea monster!

Horn Book Review

The magic tree house takes Jack and Annie to a desolate island. They befriend a mid-nineteenth-century English scientist and his crew of sailors keen on killing the sea monster (it's really an octopus) that saves the kids after they fall overboard. Though we know where the story's going, Osborne's vivid setting, reliably elucidated by Murdocca's black-and-white illustrations, makes the voyage enjoyable. (c) Copyright 2010.
