MAGIC TREE HOUSE

 

Mystery of the Magic Spell

One day, in Pennsylvania, a tree house appeared in the woods. Jack, an eight year old boy, and Annie, his younger sister climb into the tree house. They find it filled with books. Jack and Annie soon discover that the tree house is magic. It can take them to the places in the books. All they have to do is point to a picture and wish to go there. They discover that Morgan le Fay owns the tree house. She was a librarian from the time of King Arthur. There are 28 books belonging to this series. Books 29 - 40 are Merlin's Missions. The stories using factual information, send Jack and Annie on imaginative adventures.

For the next few weeks our class will be reading Books 5-8.
Each book will give us a clue in the Mystery of the Magic Spell story arc where Morgan le Fay has gone missing and Jack and Annie must break the spell for her freedom.

OUR FIRST THING IS A MOONSTONE.

Afternoon on the Amazon - Jack and Annie search the South American rainforest for Morgan le Fay. Here they encounter giant ants, flesh-eating piranhas, hungry crocodiles, and wild jaguars.

 OUR SECOND THING IS A MANGO.


Sunset of the Sabertooth - Jack and Annie are whisked back to the Ice Age where they are greeted by cave people, wooly mammoths, and fierce Sabertooth tigers!

Midnight on the Moon - Forty years into the future, Jack and Annie land on an international space station on the moon. Wearing space suits, they explore the lunar surface in search of the fourth object to free the enchantress Morgan le Fay.

The students made a Kidspiration Template on the four stories showing pictures of each book. We all enjoyed reading the adventures!
