Scooby-Doo! and You: The Case of the Theater Phantom by Vicki Erwin (Morteana)
Morteana: Children who love magic and mystery are likely to love Scooby and the gang just as much as Jack and Annie. Any book in the series will do.

THis book is excellent fatasy book for us and younger children. It is fun, and we can find a lot of informnations from this book.

Setting: This is an appropriate setting for the story because Annie and Jack explore the Amazon rain forest before returning to their home in Pennsylvania.
