Cette série est trop cool! D'accord, c'est pour les enfants d'école primaire, mais c'est pas grave: moi je suis adulte et je la lit quand même, et toc!

Simplistic, but with all the good stuff kids like: codes, clues, secret passageways, bad guys...

Flat characters, very predictable story line. I got halfway through the book and put it down. I have no attachment to the characters and do not care what happens to them. I guess that says it all.

One of my all time favourite series. This book is a sweet beginning to their adventure. This is a reread by the way, and i still love it as much as i did years ago

Not bad. Kinda confussing that the kids talk like they are in America when they are English.

Malo, malo. No sé si es por una traducción que emplea palabras complicadísimas para la edad a la que va dirigido el libro o porque no pasa absolutamente nada relevante. Es como si esto formase parte de un libro más grande y lo hubieran desglosado en varios. Lento y aburrido. No creo que sigamos con la saga.

I was extremely bored reading this book. At the end they just copied the magic tree house but made it a boat

Read this book today and I am already a big fan of this series. Note: I read the book in Dutch and have no idea how well it has been translated into other languages (original language of the book is Italian). I bought the 10th book in the series a while ago and after reading the first book, I definitely plan to buy the rest of the series.
In the reviews, I see some disagreement about the genre of the book. Personally, I think the book is mostly mystery-based. It definitely has a bit of fantasy and a lot of adventure. The book is quite simply written, but to be honest, I appreciate this in middle grade books. It's a fast-paced read filled with mysteries and adventures, which is fun to read even as an adult. I think I would have enjoyed this book immensely as a child. Even though I was never (and still am not) a mystery reader. It gave me 'Het huis Anubis' vibes (the Dutch and Belgians among us might understand this). But one of my favourite things is the dynamics in the group, they are all equals, they are all captains and there is no sibling rivalry. Each has something that the other lacks which make them a very good team. I find this refreshing, often when I read books with twins there is fighting for attention etc.
