Thanksgiving on Thursday (Magic Tree House, #27) by Mary Pope Osborne

Product Details

About the Book

It's a time for giving thanks when the Magic Tree House whisks Jack and Annie back to 1621, on the eve of the first Thanksgiving Day. There in the New Plymouth Colony, the siblings meet the Pilgrims, who ask for their help getting things ready for the historic feast — as well as Squanto, the Native American who taught the settlers how to survive in their new home. But whether it's cooking or clamming, Jack and Annie don't know how to do anything the Pilgrim way.

As Jack and Annie work alongside the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag preparing food for the celebration, they get an age-appropriate, in-depth picture of what life was really like for early settlers and the Native Americans who helped them survive. Will Jack and Annie's unfamiliarity with Pilgrim ways ruin the holiday forever, or will the feast go on as history remembers it?

Reader Reception

Thanksgiving on Thursday has been valued by parents and educators for offering young readers a more detailed, historically grounded look at the story of the first Thanksgiving than is typically found in early chapter books, including the roles of both the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag. As with other entries in the series, reader reactions vary — some cite it as a favorite for its historical depth and warmth, while others find its slower, less action-driven pace less exciting compared to other installments.
