They found it was filled with books. Jack and Annie soon discovered that the treehouse was magic. It could take them to the places in the books. All they had to do was to point to a picture and wish to go there. Jack and Annie visited the Times of Christmas.

序言 宾夕法尼亚州蛙溪谷的一个夏日，树林里突然出现了一座神秘的树屋。 八岁的杰克和他七岁的妹妹安妮爬进了树屋。 他们发现树屋里堆满了书。 杰克和安妮很快就发现这是一座魔法树屋。 它能带他们去书里描写的所有地方。 他们只要指着一幅画，许愿想去那里就可以了。 杰克和安妮曾去过圣诞时期历险。

dinosaurs, knights, pyramids, pirates, and ninjas. Along the way they discovered that the treehouse belongs to Morgan the Fay. Morgan is a magical librarian from the time of King Arthur. She travels through time and space gathering books. In their last adventure, Night of the Ninjas, Jack and Annie learned that Morgan was under a spell. To free her, Jack and Annie have to find four special things. In old Japan they found the first thing, a moonstone. Now, Jack and Annie are about to set out in search of the second thing.

还有恐龙时代、骑士时代、金字塔国度、海盗世界和忍者的故乡。 一路历险中，他们发现这座树屋属于仙女摩根。 摩根是亚瑟王时代的魔法图书管理员。 她穿梭在时空里收集各种书籍。 在上一次《忍者的夜晚》历险中，杰克和安妮得知摩根中了咒语。 要救她的话，杰克和安妮得找到四件特殊的物品。 在古代日本，他们找到了第一件物品：月光石。 现在，杰克和安妮正要出发去寻找第二件物品。 历险主题就是《亚马逊的午后》。

Chapter 1. Where's Peanut? Hurry, Jack! shouted Annie. Annie ran into the Frog Creek woods. Jack followed her. It's still here! Annie called. Jack caught up with Annie. She stood beside a tall oak tree. Jack looked up. The magic tree house was shining in the afternoon sunlight. We're coming, Peanut! Annie called. She grabbed the rope ladder and started up.

第一章 花生在哪儿？ "快点，杰克！"安妮大喊。 安妮跑进了蛙溪谷的树林里。 杰克跟在她身后。 "它还在这儿呢！"安妮喊道。 杰克追上了安妮。 她站在一棵高高的橡树旁边。 杰克抬头望去。 魔法树屋在午后的阳光下闪闪发亮。 "我们来啦，花生！"安妮喊道。 她抓住绳梯就往上爬。

Jack followed. They climbed and climbed. Finally they climbed into the tree house. Peanut? said Annie. Jack took off his backpack. He looked around. Sunlight slanted across a stack of books. Books about ninjas, pirates, mummies, knights, and dinosaurs. The letter M shimmered on the wooden floor. M for Morgan Le Fay. I don't think Peanut's here, said Jack. I wonder where she is, said Annie. How do you know Peanut's a she, asked Jack. I just know it, said Annie. Oh brother, said Jack. Squeak! Annie laughed. Look Jack! A small pink sock was moving across the tree house.

杰克跟在后面。他们爬呀爬，终于爬进了树屋。 "花生？"安妮喊道。杰克卸下背包，四下张望。 阳光斜斜照在一堆书上，这些是关于忍者、海盗、木乃伊、骑士和恐龙的书。 字母M在木地板上闪着微光，M代表的就是仙女摩根。 "我觉得花生不在这儿。"杰克说。 "我想知道她去哪儿了。"安妮说。 "你怎么知道花生是女生呀？"杰克问。 "我就是知道呀。"安妮说。 "哎哟我的天。"杰克说。 "叽叽！"安妮笑出了声。 "快看呀杰克！一只粉色的小袜子正在树屋里慢慢移动呢。"
