1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the complementary books for the Magic Tree House series. As a fan of the original series, I was excited to delve deeper into the adventures of Jack and Annie. However, these complementary books lacked the same magic and excitement that drew me to the series in the first place. The writing felt forced and the plotlines were not as engaging. I would recommend sticking to the original Magic Tree House books for a truly enjoyable reading experience.

2. Jacob - 3 stars - While I enjoyed the Magic Tree House series, I found the complementary books to be lacking in creativity and imagination. The additional books felt like a cash grab, trying to capitalize on the success of the original series. The storylines were predictable and formulaic, and the characters lacked depth. I was hoping for a more enriching experience, but unfortunately, these books fell short of my expectations.
