The eighth book in the Magic Tree House series is titled "Midnight on the Moon." In this book, Jack and Annie are on a mission to go to the moon and retrieve a moonstone. They use their magical tree house to travel through time and space and find themselves in a lunar landscape. In order to retrieve the moonstone, they must solve a riddle and find a special ingredient. Along the way, they encounter an alien who helps them navigate their way around the moon and teaches them about its surface and history. As they explore, they witness the first moon landing and learn about the brave astronauts who set foot on the moon.
Black Magic is about women who are going to use their “magic” and “potions” (metaphors for their sexuality and femininity) to seduce objects of their affection and make them fall in love with them. They are literally stating an open intent to do everything that men are scared women will do.
It s not an angry song featuring damaged or dangerous characters; it s a harmless pop song about some happy looking women who are going to go out, dance around and seduce some guys because they re sexy. You ll recognise this as the female variation of all the club songs concerning men who are going to go out, dance around and seduce women because they re sexy.
As they explore, they witness the first moon landing and learn about the brave astronauts who set foot on the moon. With the help of their new friend, they successfully complete their mission and return to their tree house. "Midnight on the Moon" is an exciting adventure that combines history and science fiction.
Little mix black magic
This bouncy pop tune finds the Little Mix quartet singing of seducing a guy with their secret love potion:
Take a sip of my secret potion
I'll make you fall in love
First love it can't be broken
One drop should be enough,
For you belong to me
I got the recipe
And it's called black magic
The song was written by Ed Drewett and Camille Purcell.
Ed Drewett has previously written hits for The Wanted (All Time Low, "Glad You Came"), One Direction ("Best Song Ever," Steal My Girl") and Olly Murs ("Dear Darlin'," "The One.") He also provided vocals on Professor Green's debut UK hit "I Need You Tonight."
Rising UK singer-songwriter Camille Purcell's other credits include The Saturdays' "What About Us" and Ella Henderson's "Glow."
The song was produced by Norwegian duo Electric, who previously worked with Little Mix on their Salute track "Towers."
The song is about empowering women to live confidently. Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock said: "The message of 'Black Magic' is, basically, we are the girls with the secret potion and we're going to give it to all the other girls that want to get the man they want to get."
The Director X helmed video finds the four Little Mixers playing teenagers. The quartet are transformed by a magic spell from nerds to chic and powerful girls, who proceed to take revenge on a school bully. The clip is in part, a homage to the dark teen movie The Craft.
Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall told Digital Spy the girls already had the idea for the video when they were recording the track. "Whenever we write and record songs we always picture a video and what it's going to be like," she said. "We always wanted it to be more fun and taking the mick out of ourselves a bit, so us and the label came up with the whole high school chick-flick idea. We've never been able to do something like that before, so it was really new for us. It was all very exciting."
Jade Thirlwall was originally hesitant about the song because none of the group contributed to the writing process. "I remember when we first heard it, I wasn't that sure about Black Magic because it was so pop-y," she recalled to BuzzFeed. "It was the first song that we hadn't actively written on, and I think I felt a bit proud of the idea because it was such a thing for us as well to be seen as credible songwriters. So to take this song and not have been a part of it all was a bitter pill for me to swallow, I suppose. But then the more we got into it, and once we recorded it and stuff, I was like, yes."
And “no need to over-analyse it”. Pah!
Main idea: "Midnight on the Moon" follows Jack and Annie as they travel to the moon to retrieve a moonstone, learning about the moon's surface and history along the way..
Reviews for "Stepping into Ancient Egypt: Investigating the Eighth Book in the Magic Tree House Series"
1. Emily - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with the eighth book in the Magic Tree House series. The story felt repetitive and lacking in creativity. The characters seemed one-dimensional and their actions were predictable. The plot dragged on without any real excitement or suspense. Overall, I found this book to be a weak addition to the series and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Robert - ★★☆☆☆
As a fan of the Magic Tree House series, I was let down by the eighth book. The storyline felt forced and uninteresting, with little character development. The writing style was also subpar, lacking the usual charm and wit found in the previous books. I just couldn't connect with the events in this book and it left me feeling unsatisfied. I hope the next installment in the series is more engaging.

I was thoroughly unimpressed with the eighth book in the Magic Tree House series. The plot felt disjointed and rushed, leaving little room for proper development.
