A time-travel mission in 1787 Philadelphia

Jack and Annie arrive in Old Philadelphia through the magic tree house, where their mission brings them face to face with Benjamin Franklin. Set amid the events of 1787, the adventure connects its fictional time-travel premise with a real historical figure known in the source as an inventor and Founding Father. The task requires the children to attempt something daring and difficult, while a separate nonfiction companion, *Benjamin Franklin*, offers a way to follow the history beyond the story. As part of the Magic Tree House series, the book combines a historical setting with a children’s adventure framework.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 beginning to read chapter books
  • Young readers interested in time travel and historical figures
  • Magic Tree House readers who want a companion nonfiction title
