資源簡介

《神奇樹屋》是紐約時報暢銷榜的常青樹，連續占據了160周的位置，20幾年來，這套書影響了全世界的孩子，累計銷量已過億冊，更是美國、歐洲、日本等國家孩子的必讀童書。雖然是黑白插圖，但小朋友還是能在故事中讀到多采多姿的見解，這些都是大人不見得能夠想到的美妙思考。也因此，這個系列入選了美國國家教育協會推薦的世界100部最經典童書。文字簡潔精煉，內容引人入勝。

充滿無限想象的冒險故事，帶孩子在書中游遍世界，神奇樹屋描述了一對小兄妹的冒險故事。哥哥Jack，八歲半，喜歡看書，是個理性冷靜的小男孩;至于七歲的妹妹Annie，就喜愛幻想與冒險，而且勇于嘗試。加入歷史、地理知識，以此為起點延伸更多科普話題，Magic Tree House 這個系列的書，除了冒險故事緊張刺激以外，最好的一點就是它們從故事帶出很多地理歷史的典故，比如泰蘭尼克號、龐貝火山爆發的故事、古埃及木乃伊、古羅馬奴隸、美國內戰、恐龍世界、熱帶雨林等等……

Back into the Woods

"Let's look again, Jack," said Annie.

Jack and Annie were walking home from the library. The path went right by the Frog Creek woods.

Jack sighed."We looked this morning," he said. "We looked the day before. And the day before that."

"Then you don't have to come," said Annie."I'll go look by myself."

She took off into the woods.

"Annie, wait!" Jack called. "It's almost dark! We have to get home!"

But Annie had disappeared among the trees.

Jack stared at the woods. He was starting to lose hope. Maybe he would never see Morgan again.

Weeks had passed. And there had not been one sign of Morgan le Fay. Nor had there been one sign of her magic tree house.

回到樹林

“讓我們再看看，杰克，”安妮說。

杰克和安妮從圖書館走回家。 這條路在青蛙溪森林的右邊。

杰克嘆了口氣。“我們今天早上看了看，”他說。 “我們前一天看過。前一天。”

“那你就不用來了，”安妮說，“我自己去看看。”

她飛到了樹林里。

“安妮，等等!” 杰克打來電話。 “天快黑了!我們得回家了!”

但是安妮已經消失在樹林中了。

杰克盯著樹林。 他開始失去希望。 也許他再也見不到摩根了。

幾個星期過去了。 摩根勒菲的蹤跡也沒有。 她的魔法樹屋也沒有任何跡象。
