Jack and Annie head to 18th-century Austria, where they must find and help a musician by the name of Mozart. Decked out in the craziest outfits they've ever worn--including a wig for Jack and a giant hoopskirt for Annie!--the two siblings search an entire palace to no avail. Their hunt is further hampered by the appearance of a mischievous little boy who is determined to follow them everywhere. But when the boy lets the animals out of the palace zoo, Jack and Annie have to use the only magic at their disposal to save themselves and the naughty little fellow.

Formerly numbered as Magic Tree House #41, the title of this book is now Magic Tree House Merlin Mission #13: Moonlight on the Magic Flute.

Booklist Review

Jack and Annie find themselves in eighteenth-century Vienna on a mission from Merlin: find a brilliant artist and put him or her on the right path. Their search is hampered by the insistent attentions of a six-year-old boy, Wolfie. After suspending their quest in order to help him, they discover that in doing so, they have completed their mission. Written with the ready charm and childlike spirit of adventure that make the Magic Tree House series a continuing favorite, this chapter book weaves historical details of Mozart's Vienna into a tale of magic and mystery. Lively black-and-white illustrations enhance the book's appeal.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2009 Booklist

Horn Book Review

Jack and Annie time travel to 1762 Austria. Their mission: to persuade an artist to share his gifts. However, they're hampered by Wolfie, a mischievous boy. With the help of a magic flute, the kids (inadvertently) complete their task as they find out "Wolfie" is young Mozart. Readers will learn a little about the composer's early life while being entertained by his exploits. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
