Jack and Annie set off to find an original copy of an ancient Chinese myth. Armed only with their magic library cards, they must take on a book-burning emperor. But with the help of a scholar and a silk weaver, they triumph again.

I remain fascinated with the Terracotta Army, and you were incredulous as well. (

In this installment of the Magic Treehouse series, Jack and Annie find themselves in ancient China. A powerful emperor is attempting to rid his kingdom of knowledge by burning all the books in the imperial library. Jack and Annie are able to save one of the books they need as Master Librarians and narrowly escape the Dragon King before returning home. Great book for students just getting in to chapter books.

These books are a lot better if you know nothing about the actual subject. (
