Book description
Eight-year-old Jack and his little sister, Annie, are playing in the
woods when they find a mysterious tree house full of books. But these
are no ordinary books . . . And this is no ordinary tree house . . .
Jack and Annie might be on their scariest adventure yet - on the
Amazon river! There are army ants, jaguars and piranas, as well as
vampire bats, snakes and even crocodiles! And they've still got to
find another clue to help rescue Morgan, the owner of the Magic Tree
House. For a while, Jack and Annie are worried that they might be
stuck in the rain forest for ever . . . But the over-active monkey
they meet turns out to be friendlier than they first thought!
