Afternoon on the Amazon: Graphic Novel is the same exciting story as the original chapter book by Mary Pope Osborne. The story, book six in The Magic Treehouse series, begins with Jack and Annie going to the magical treehouse and finding the mysterious “M” on the floor (as it was in the previous book), along with their little friend, Peanut the mouse. They discover that their destination this time will be the Amazon rainforest! The siblings experience an adventure with the animals and insects who live in the rainforest while trying to find the unknown “M” object to bring back to the treehouse before anything gets them!
I read the chapter book before this, and while it was exciting and fun, I enjoyed the graphic novel more before you get to see in the pictures what is happening, and there are less words to have to read and more things to look at. The illustrations were easy to follow and added a new way of reading the story. This is the first graphic novel of this series that I’ve read, and I look forward to reading the more!
