Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-4-Jack and Annie travel to Victorian England and meet Dickens, who is suffering from writer's block (as he was famously known to do). The siblings take a page right out of Dickens's own book and summon the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, an act they hope will result in the publication of A Christmas Carol.

Review by Horn Book Review

In Victorian England, Charles Dickens's pen is quieted by writer's block; he's also dismayed by the plight of London's child laborers. Jack and Annie use magic to create three ghosts who visit Dickens, let loose his muse, and ultimately influence his next masterpiece. Magic Tree House fans won't be disappointed by this latest installment. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
