First on the list: A gift from a ship lost a sea. When Jack and Annie find a puppy (who they name Teddy) in the treehouse, they also find a message from Morgan Le Fey informing them that the puppy is under a spell and several items are needed to break the enchantment. This volume was the start of one such quest. The structure of the series has the kids going on quests that span several books. No bringing anyone back with them, and no changing history. The books in the treehouse allow the kids to travel through time with a few basic anti-paradox rules in place. The main characters, Jack and Annie (ages 8 and 7) are "Master Librarians" for a magical treehouse library run by Morgan Le Fey (No, really.). This was my first introduction to Mary Pope Osbourne's Magic Tree House series, and I have to say I was impressed. He has an interest in the story of the Titanic. The Kiddo (age 6) brought this home from his school library and I read it out loud to him.
