Graphic novels are a hit! Classic series such as The Babysitters Club and I Survived are seeing renewed popularity in graphic novel form. We are thrilled to add Magic Tree House to this format and join the growing graphic novel trend.

Vivid art brings the bestselling series to new life! Magic Tree House is hands down the #1 bestselling chapter book series, and recently returned to the New York Times series bestseller list. With vibrant colors and active scenes, this new look will keep young readers engaged and inspired!

Classroom favorite—now in graphic novel form! Magic Tree House is a staple in elementary school classrooms and now educators will have a new format to entice young students and promote reading.

Accelerated pub plan! We started with 4 adaptations, with 2 more to follow in 2023.
