By the help of certain Chinese scholar, Jack and Annie found the story right before it got burn. In their dark hour, they called upon the ancient legend and the ball of silk to helped them back home safely. ( )

Personal Reaction:
I enjoy all the Magic Treehouse books, I have not found a Magic Treehouse book yet that I didn't enjoy and even sometimes learn from! I love the way they can be used to enrich almost any subject!

Classroom Extention:
Use craft sticks to make Bamboo Books

I picked this book up expecting to feel brain cells dying as I read it. I was very wrong; I can see why my students enjoy this series so much. It's very well written (albeit extremely simplistic) and interesting. It was an extremely quick read and is educational, to boot! ( )

This story is about Jack and Annie who are brother and sister. They live in the now, but they go to their magic tree house in the woods. They go on many adventures. This time they are going back about 2,000 years to China. Their mission this time is to save a bamboo book from burning.The Dragon King is against books being read. So he has ordered the burning of the Imperial Library.
This story reminded me of learning about the Great Wall of China. It mentions it in this story as well.
This story could be used to introduce the wheel of progress in history. (What was there to write on before paper?)
It could also be used to teach students to a new higher order of thinking? (Why was the scholar dressed as a farmer? Why was he in hiding? Why was the Dragon King afraid to let everyone learn?)

Annie and his brother Jack got a mission, and they had to go to Hawaii and they met a boy called Boka and a girl called Kama. On the next day they went surfing but at the end Jack didn't go because he was scared. He felt an earthquake and he read that often after earthquakes there are tsunamis. And because of Jack his sister Annie, friend Boka and Kama. I recommend this book for people who like adventure books. ( )
