 Please reconsider Apr 28, 2005
By A Reader

While I appreciate that this is a popular series, as an elementary educator from Hawai'i I would like Amazon customers to consider not buying this particular installment of the Tree House books. It perpetuates the most ridiculous stereotypes of Hawai'i and Hawaiians. It makes Native Hawaiians out to be ignorant and indebted to a boy for his superior knowledge -- this is simply a repetition of the old story that Pacific Islanders needed to be saved by the West. At the risk of being cynical, how about a book that explains how the kids did not save Native Hawaiians from the near genocide that followed contact with the West? There are many good books for kids set in Hawai'i, written by people who know the Islands, its history and traditions. Please look for books like these -- The Fish and Its Gifts/Na Makana a Na I'a, Bon Dance in Hawai'i, To Find the Way, or Mr. Miyataki's Wonderful Machine.

Not at all good Jan 28, 2009
By Azay Rideau

Despite the author's claim to have been reading about Hawaii before writing this book, the place she describes in the story is hardly Hawaiian. In fact, it's as if the author has never seen a real coconut, been to Hawaii, or frankly, flipped through a travel brochure. There should be some truth in a story like this, otherwise, reading the book is just an exercise. You, yes, you, could have written this book in 3 hours.
I agree with the reviewer who pointed out the stereotypes used to describe the Hawaiians. Happy, dancing, friendly, open faces...It was silly and lazy on the author's part. And how many ancient Hawaiians were named Boka? The letter B was not used for Hawaiian words.

High Tide in Hawaii
Do you like adventure or mystery books? Well, if you do read High Tide in Hawaii by Mary Pope Osborn. This book is about two little siblings that have a magic tree house and they have adventures in it ... Jack and Annie are in their porch both reading books when magically the MAGIC TREE HOUSE appears "Hey, it is back" Annie said with a smile. Both of them smiled because the adventurous tree house was back and they will have another extreme adventure like all the days.
"Mom" Jack shouted just like always. "We are leaving to the woods, to the Magic Tree House" And just like always their mom will say "Be here soon." The siblings will pick up their necessary things. They live the house and go to the woods, climb the Magic tree house and discuss their adventure.
When the two young siblings reach the tree house they let their luggage on the floor and discuss the adventure for that day ...... They decided to go to the hot island of Hawaii and so they did. The tree house started to spin each time it spun faster and faster until ... it stopped , " Where are we " asked both of them . They were on a huge ship "You are in Hawaii," said a voice. Jack and Annie looked surprised . .... They got to Hawaii and saw many awesome things .They met some Indians from there and actually they met friends, two little siblings just like them but.... They ...... find out... in High Tide in Hawaii by Mary Pope Osborne

 Read in an Hour Sep 10, 2008
By Jennifer P.

My 7-year-old read this in a matter of a couple hours. He loved it. He loved all the Magic Treehouse books. He even read a few of them two or three times. Excellent book. Wish they were a little longer so he couldn't zip through them so fast. :D
