This book is book number nine in the Magic Tree House series. It begins with Jack and Annie going to their magic tree house and finding a quest that has been left for them. They must visit the ocean to solve a riddle, and they get to the ocean by picking up a book about dolphins and wishing they could go there. They are then magically transported in their treehouse to a coral reef. They get in a submarine and look for the answer to the riddle they have been given. The sub begins to crack and they worry it will sink. They get out and start swimming to shore, but it is too far. They end up riding on the back of dolphins back to the shore. Right as they are about to give up on the riddle, they finally solve it. Jack steps on an oyster which is the answer to the riddle. They then get back in the treehouse and wish to go home. Once they arrive home, it is like no time has passed.
I really like this book and I would really like to use it in my classroom. I think it sparks a lot of imagination of where would you go if you could wish it in a magic treehouse. I think that it would be really fun to have the students try to solve the riddle as they read. I also think it would be really cool to read when studying the ocean in science class. I think this book would be good for 2-4th grade.
