When a sudden, raging blizzard strikes Minnesota in 1940, the Huff family is in grave danger. Little do they know that their paths are about to cross with Warren and Betsy, sixth-graders from the modern day who are using a new invention, the Instant Commuter, to travel back in time to research the storm. Warren and Betsy underestimate the storm, though, and their machine freezes. Surrounded by snow and fighting for their own lives, they find the young Huff girl lost in the blizzard. Can Warren, Betsy, and the Huff family make it through the storm alive?

Second Best!Commenter: Alan, grade 3
This is the very BEST!
Except for Summer of the Sea Serpent.
One of the Best Magic Tree House Books Ever.Commenter: Jostin, grade 4
The Blizzard of the Blue Moon is one of the best books that Mary Pope Osborne has written. I recommend this book for a fantasy book report.
Annie fantasizes about the nineteeth century. She loves the formality, fashion, old-fashioned romance and courtship-basically everything about this time period! So imagine her surprise and delight when Annie finds herself in the year 1895 after exploring an old mansion that is about to be torn down. Annie finds that she loves the simplicity of this time period but when she finds herself falling in love with a boy named Strat, everything becomes very complicated. Annie goes 'back to the future' when she is framed for a murder but her love for Strat soon draws her back to 1895. Read this book to peek into the lifestyle of the 19th century and to find out which side of time Annie ends up in. Other time travel books about Annie are Out of Time, Prisoner of Time and For All Time.
