Book Description: In "Midnight on the Magic Flute" by Mary Pope Osborne, Jack and Annie embark on a musical mayhem that's more melodious than a choir of singing frogs! Picture this: you're exploring a magical treehouse, when suddenly, whoosh! You're whisked away to the enchanting streets of Vienna, where the sound of Mozart's music fills the air and the sausages sizzle like symphonies in a frying pan!

Now, here's the musical twist: Jack and Annie aren't just tapping their toes for fun; they're on a mission to uncover the secrets of the magic flute and unlock the music that will guide them on their quest. But hold onto your conductor's baton, because the real challenge? It's not just dodging flying sheet music and outsmarting mischievous Mozart impersonators who are as wily as a cat chasing a canary! Nope, the problem for our harmonious heroes is figuring out how to bring happiness to millions of people before they're left feeling as off-key as a kazoo at a symphony concert!

Armed with nothing but their musical spirit, a trusty book, and a sprinkle of Mozart magic, Jack and Annie waltz through the streets on a quest filled with musical encounters, Mozartian adventures, and maybe even a duet with a laughing hyena or two! Can they crack the code of the magic flute and find the music they seek before they're left feeling as discordant as a cat playing the bagpipes? Join them on this musical escapade for a journey filled with laughs, thrills, and enough Mozartian fun to make even Beethoven tap his foot! Bravo!
