Magic Tree House #2 The Knight at Dawn Author: Mary Pope Osborne Illustrated: Calina Comerota

Once upon a time in a town called Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, there lived a brother and sister named Jack and Annie. One day, they were playing in the woods near their house and found something amazing. "A tree house!" shouted Annie. Then she climbed the rope ladder.

Jack followed her into the tree house. Inside, there were books everywhere! Annie found a book about knights and castles. She pointed to the picture and said, "I wish we could go there." "Annie, no!" said Jack. It was too late. The tree house began to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then suddenly... Everything was still.

Jack looked out the window. There was a giant castle surrounded by a moat! They climbed out of the tree house and crept quietly into the castle. Inside, they found a huge feast with tables full of food. Then they heard a loud voice. "HALT!" Guards were coming!

Jack and Annie ran down a hallway and into a dark room. The guards locked them inside. "What do we do now?" asked Jack. Annie took out her flashlight and waved it around like a magic wand. While they were distracted, Jack and Annie escaped.

They crawled through a dark and spooky tunnel until they found a door. Jack opened it and slipped. "SPLASH!" He fell right into the moat. "I'm in the water!" he yelled. "SPLASH!" Annie jumped in after him.

They swam through the fog and heard another splash. They thought it might be a crocodile and swam as fast as they could to the grass. "NEEEE-HHHH!" "A horse!" said Annie. One his back was a knight wearing shiny armor. He smiled and held out his hand. They climbed onto the horse and galloped back to the magical tree house. "Thank you, Sir Knight!" said Jack and Annie.

Jack and Annie climbed into the tree house, found the Pennsylvania book and made a wish. "I wish we were home," said Annie. The tree house began to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then... Everything was still. Absolutely still.

"We're home!" cheered Annie. Jack put on his soft, cozy pajamas. Then he wrote all about their adventure before closing his eyes and fell asleep. What an adventure it had been! THE END.
