About the Book

Hello, buffalo! That's what Jack and Annie say when the Magic Tree House whisks them and Teddy, the enchanted dog, back almost 200 years to the Great Plains. Still on their quest to collect four gifts to free Teddy from his spell, the siblings journey to the prairie in search of a "gift from the prairie blue." There, they befriend a young Lakota boy named Black Hawk, who shows them how his people hunt buffalo and teaches them how the Lakota view the earth, the land, and their place within it.

But something goes wrong when their excitement gets the better of them near the herd — now Jack and Annie must find a way to stop a thousand buffalo from stampeding before it's too late! Blending an exciting wildlife adventure with a respectful glimpse into Lakota culture and traditions, this installment teaches young readers about courage, community, and the deep connection between the Lakota people and the natural world.
