  2. What books will my child be reading? Your child will be reading Magic Treehouse and Magic Treehouse Merlin Mission books, which are page-turners that appeal to both boys and girls. These books take your child on a journey through time and across the United States alongside Jack and Annie. You will get a full list of books and supplies in your welcome email.

  4. What kind of activities will my child be doing? Your child will be doing hands-on activities that encourage them to explore their creativity, including sharing artwork, playing games, and crafting something inspired by the book’s main theme.
  5. How much time per week does my child need to dedicate to the program? The homework is equal to 2-3 hours per week, which includes daily reading depending on how fast your child reads and writes. Many kids can complete the reading in just one hour. This allows them time to write four trivia questions about the book they read, with answers provable in the book’s text, and to prepare for the game of the week.
  6. Are the books historically accurate? Please note that all Magic Treehouse and Magic Treehouse Merlin Mission books are works of fiction and may include some fictional ideas about possible real historic events. They are not meant to be used as historical textbooks in any way. The goal of these books is to inspire children to learn more about the time period Jack and Annie visit, the main theme, and to build reading and comprehension confidence.
  7. What technology do I need to participate in the live online book club? You will need a computer or tablet with a reliable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. I recommend using headphones to improve the sound quality.
  8. How long are the book club sessions?  The book club sessions are typically 1 hour long, once a week for 8 weeks.
  9. What if my child misses a session?  If your child misses a session, they will still have access to the materials and activities covered in that session. I encourage children to catch up on reading the book missed as soon as possible to keep up with the group.
  10. What is the cost of the book club?  The cost of the book club is $150.00 per child. This includes access to all 8 sessions, printable materials and activities, and homework assignments.
  11. Who will be leading the book club sessions?  The book club sessions will be led by Ms. Kyria, a teacher and experienced book club facilitator. Ms. Kyria has a passion for children’s literature and a talent for engaging children in fun and interactive learning experiences.
  12. What happens if my child doesn’t like the book?  I understand that not every book will appeal to every child. However, I encourage children to give each book a chance and participate in the activities and discussions to the best of their ability. If your child is struggling with a particular book, I will be available to offer support and guidance.
  13. Does the club provide the books? No, the club does not provide copies of the books to buy or lend. However, the books I selected for the club are widely available at local libraries and used book stores, as well as major retailers in both digital and physical formats. While you may need to get on a waitlist for some popular titles at the library, I encourage you to support your local library and community by utilizing these resources.
