The Magic Gate Adventures: Treasure Of The Rainbow Crystal

The Magic Gate Adventures – "Treasure of the Rainbow Crystal" takes two children on a fun, yet sometimes mysterious, undersea adventure. The whole adventure, however, is much larger. The key to going on the adventure is a "treasure" they must find and use to keep the adventure alive. This time, it is a "Rainbow Crystal." The magic gates are the entry point to all of the Magic Gate Adventures. In this book, two large oak trees in the woodlands serve that purpose. The children go in and out of the adventure as they live their normal lives, having to follow rules along the way. As part of this adventure, they assist two younger children who are on their first adventure and are learning the ropes. The older children are left in the end not knowing if the younger children will ever return on future adventures. This will be divulged only in the next adventure. For these two children, a fun-filled summer becomes something much greater. The last message as the story closes is one of a different sort. It encourages the reader to pay close attention to their surroundings as you never know what you might find. If you look carefully, there just might be an adventure waiting to be taken!

Another feature of the book is the various messages sent throughout, such as, "being successful by working together and planning ahead." These messages are used in "Part II" of the book, where readers are challenged to jog their memories and have fun with the messages. The message is noted and a real-life example is given. The reader is encouraged to try to remember where in the book it occurred. The reader is told to turn the page to find the answer. There it is noted: "Remember the part(s) of the book where:" and the situation where it occurs is discussed. The author believes this will be a very useful tool for those individuals trying to encourage reading comprehension as well as reinforcing learning through the messages themselves.
