This is a typical Magic Tree House book but I had a moment while reading it that set it apart for me. Throughout the book Jack and Annie, two white kids, are running around with Dipper (the adolescent Louis Armstrong), a black child. Initially I thought Osborne was going to ignore racial issues in order to focus on the adventure, which I found strange based on my experience with her other books in the series. I wondered if maybe she thought this issue was just too big to deal with for the scopeI read "A Good Night for Ghosts" and I liked it. Jack and Annie go back in time and see Louis Armstrong.

First, I wasn't even supposed to read this judging by its title **points up to the word 'Ghosts'**. I avoided horror things since I was young (thanks to my classmates who pranked me). And since I deeply love MTH and since it's for children, I gave it a try. And I found it exciting. Jack and Annie went to New Orleans, still on their mission to spread happiness around the world. This time it was with Louis Armstrong, the "Dipper" who is the father of Jazz music (I suppose). Ghosts were quite minor
I thought that it was okay. It seemed like they were trying to teach a history lesson rather than write an interesting book for children. It was my first magic tree house book and I probably wont' read any more. I know a lot of kids really like them but my kids didn't though it did hold my 3 and 5 year old attention but that could have been because I was letting them stay up while I read to them.
My students enjoy the MTH books. I appreciate that they introduce important people and events from our history. Some students seemed a little worried in a few places because I try to set the mood as I read. :D This is a fun, informative read for kiddos.
The book was really nice with Neil Armstrong
