Kathleen and Teddy are two apprentices who befriend Jack and Annie during their adventures, with one of these adventures being to free Kathleen from a spell. The two occasionally join Jack and Annie, and, when they don't, provide them support instead.

During Super Edition #1, Teddy sends them on a mission instead of Morgan or Merlin. 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.In the beginning, Mary Pope Osborne wrote the books with Morgan sending the children on missions. Then she switched over to them being sent on missions by Merlin. About 10 years later, in 2014, she switched back to writing only the books with Morgan sending them on missions. These books were, again, much shorter.

Contents.Series background After graduating College, Osborne and a friend went traveling. Osborne spent time in Crete and traveled through,. The trip came to an end when Osborne experienced blood poisoning in Nepal requiring her to stay in a hospital for a couple of weeks where she read. Remarking on her travels Osborne said, 'That journey irrevocably changed me.

Experience was gathered that serves as a reference point every day of my life. I encountered worlds of light and worlds of darkness — and planted seeds of the imagination that led directly to my being an author of children's books.'

Osborne's travels and experiences have factored largely into her own writing, while her writing has allowed her to experience some of the thrills of traveling. As she said, 'Without even leaving my home, I’ve traveled around the globe, learning about the religions of the world.' Osborne's writing career began 'one day, out of the blue' when she wrote Run, Run As Fast As You Can in 1982. The book itself is semi-autobiographical in nature, according to Osborne: 'The girl was a lot like me and many of the incidents in the story were similar to happenings in my childhood.' The book served as the starting point for Osborne's writing career. Her early work received mixed reviews.

Her work includes young adult novels, picture books, retellings of mythology and fairy tales, biographies, mysteries, a six part series of the Odyssey, a book of American Tall Tales, and a book for young readers about the major world religions.Osborne says that she can work on Magic Tree House up to 12 hours a day and seven days a week and has used space at shared office space, The Writer's Room. She has modeled her writing after Hemingway by trying to be simple and direct and is 'noted for writing clear, lively, well-paced prose in both her stories and her informational books.'
