Ever since 1992, Mary Pope Osborne has been thrilling kids
everywhere with her delightfully exciting Magic Tree House series.
The globetrotting escapades of time travelers Jack and Annie are
brimming with adventure and magic not to mention some subtly
placed lessons on history and geography. With a life like
Osborne''s, it''s only natural that she would be capable of bringing
such wondrous stories to life.
Osborne was brought up in a military family, and her parents''
work led to a lifestyle marked by constant change. "By the time I
was 15," she says on randomhouse.com, "I had lived in Oklahoma,
Austria, Florida, and four different army posts in Virginia and
North Carolina." While many kids would probably feel disoriented by
such constant change, Osborne wouldn''t have had it any other way.
"Moving was never traumatic for me, but staying in one place was.
When my dad finally retired to a small town in North Carolina, I
nearly went crazy with boredom. I craved the adventure and changing
scenery of our military life."
