Product Details

About the Book

Who would burn books? Jack and Annie find out when the Magic Tree House whisks them back to ancient China. There, a powerful emperor known as the Dragon King has ordered that all books be burned, fearing the knowledge they hold. As Master Librarians on a mission from the enchantress Morgan le Fay, Jack and Annie set off to find and rescue an original copy of an ancient Chinese myth before it is lost forever.

Armed only with their magic library cards, the siblings must navigate the emperor's court and evade his soldiers, with the unexpected help of a scholar and a silk weaver along the way. Will Jack and Annie be able to save at least one book, or will they be captured before they can complete their mission? Blending adventure with a glimpse into ancient Chinese history and culture, this installment continues the siblings' quest to preserve the world's stories.
