Osborne, Mary Pope  Magic Treehouse #48: A Perfect Time for Pandas 128 pgs. Random House Books for Young Readers, 2012. $9.35.  (Rating: G)
Jack and Annie need to collect a final object to help save Merlin’s penguin. They are sent off to China, with clues to guide them. They find themselves at a Panda reserve. After they spent a wonderful day volunteering, they decide to get back to their search. But an earthquake derails those plans, and Jack and Annie are frantic with worry about the Pandas. They have to decide if they should go back and help or continue with their quest.
Companion Fact Tracker Book: Pandas and other Endangered Species: Offers information on Pandas, and other species that need our help!
Although this book was part of a larger adventure (Merlin Mission), it easily functioned as a stand-alone. The plot line was based on real-life events. The book was creative and wonderfully crafted. I really enjoyed this book, and I am willing to be students will too!
