I found myself easily guessing what would happen next and it took away from the sense of adventure. Additionally, the characters lacked depth and I couldn't connect with them. The writing style felt very basic and didn't engage my interest. Overall, I found this book to be a letdown compared to the previous ones in the series.
2. Mark - 3 stars - While "Magic Tree House 4" had an interesting premise, I felt like it was poorly executed. The pacing was off, with some parts dragging on for too long and others feeling rushed. The dialogue was also quite cheesy and unrealistic. I was hoping for more depth and complexity in the plot, but it was ultimately very shallow and predictable. I think younger readers might enjoy it, but as an adult, I found it to be quite lacking.
