So Morgan Le Fay sends them on this mission to the antartic to go find something really special just for him.So as the magic tree house transported them to the cold lands, they wondered were are the animals or people? It was a quiet, windy,chilly,cold,frosty,snowy, icey and deep freezing. They really wondered what are they going to find all the way in the middle of nowhere. As they kept walking and walking they saw nice penguins walk with their little babies hugging each other warmth.They were really amazed that they actually saw those penguins for the first time ever.They at least started walking and spotted this red bus who carried a lot of coated people looking out the windows and Jack and Annie were supried so they shouted. They didn't stop maybe they haven't heard them. So they kept walking while talking to each other. They also wondered what that red bus was doing here out in the cold. As they kept walking they got really excited as they spotted tyhe red bus again and this time stopped at a big huge tent. They started running and saw the people leaving the bus heading to the huge tent and as they went inside they noticed that it was well heated and cookies/hot chocalate were waiting on a huge table."

" Loved this one. Whew! 40 books through already. Only 10 more to go. I'll be sad when the series is over, for sure. These are such cute books. Even though they are geared towards the younger, first time readers, I am enjoying these as an adult reader as well. Give this series a try. "
