As
Annie and Jack went to the tree house early one morning they
had no idea what the day would bring. All they knew is what
Morgan le Fay's note that she left them said:
Dear Annie and
Jack,
Good luck on your second journey to find a special magic.
This secret rhyme will guide you:
To find a special kind of magic
in worlds so far apart,
speak a special language,
talk with your hands and heart.
Thank you,
Morgan
On top lay a book An African Rain Forest. The book
whisks them to a picture of a rain forest inside. Annie stumbles
upon a group of gorillas. It starts to get dark and rainy.
Jack leaves his flashlight and umbrella a little while away.
Jack is worried about the dangerous black jaguar, and he gets
lost from Annie and the rest of the gorillas on his way. After
getting rescued Jack doesn't really feel like he fits in with
the gorillas. Annie could, but why couldn't he? Will Jack
ever fit in? What about the secret language, what is it? What
about the black jaguar, will that come in play?
This is a great
adventure thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.
I would recommend this book and the rest of the series to
grades anywhere from one to three. You learn a lot about the
rain forest and gorillas from this book. There are really
cool facts that you can learn from Jack that even I didn't
know, and I'm studying the rain forest.
I also recommend reading them in order. You can find them
about every subject you can think of. Have fun!
