A Good Night for Ghosts by Mary Pope Osborne

A Good Night for Ghosts by Mary Pope Osborne-112 pages

While reading this, I remembered reading this before and liking it a lot then. I like it just as much now. Jack and Annie are taken back to New Orleans on All Saints' Eve/Day in this Magic Tree House adventure. Their mission from Merlin, given by Teddy and Kathleen, is to persuade Louis Armstrong ("Dipper") to get on the path of playing jazz music so he can go on to become the "King of Jazz," like he does in reality. Along the way, Jack and Annie learn the value of hard work and learn a thing or two about racism in the Old South. Also, they have a run-in with the ghost of Jean Lafitte. It is a fun read, even now as an adult!
