In the Merlin Missions, Jack and Annie have quests from the ancient wizard Merlin the Magician. These books are longer than the previous 28, and some take place in fantasy realms like Camelot. Kathleen and Teddy are two apprentices who befriend Jack and Annie during their adventures, with one of these adventures being to free Teddy from a spell. The two occasionally join Jack and Annie, and when they don't, provide them support instead. The 52nd book in the fiction series, Soccer on Sunday, was published in May 2014, along with the 29th nonfiction companion book, Soccer. The companion "Magic Tree House Fact Trackers" are co-written by Mary Pope Osborne with her husband Will Osborne or her sister Natalie Pope Boyce. They provide nonfiction background for several of the topics explored in the stories.[1] The first two Fact Checkers were published in August 2000 as companions for the first two stories, then 7 to 8 years old. In 2008 story #39, Dark Day in the Deep Sea and its fact tracker #17, Sea Monsters were the first story and fact tracker to be published simultaneously; simultaneous production has been common since. The animated film Magic Tree House (マジック・ツリーハウス?), produced by Media Factory, premiered in Japan in October 2011[2] and was generally released there on January 7, 2012.[3]
