THE MAGIC TREEHOUSE, BOOK 14 - A DEN OF LIONS

A royal adventure full of twists and turns behind the scenes of London theater! For their second mission as Master Librarians, Tom and Liz must find a new lost story. The Magic Treehouse propels them four hundred years back in time, into the heart of London during the Elizabethan Renaissance.

While searching for clues, the two children make an encounter that will turn their quest upside down: a certain William Shakespeare himself! The famous playwright is desperately looking for young actors to perform in his brand-new play before the Queen of England. Tom and Liz agree to take to the stage, but stage fright, period costumes, and unexpected mishaps make the experience far more perilous than they anticipated. To top it all off, a terrifying rumor is spreading about escaped big cats prowling near the theater... Between memorable lines, stage sets, and royal protocol, Tom and Liz will have to show incredible talent and a great deal of courage to complete their mission. A captivating story that perfectly blends humor, suspense, and an introduction to classic literature!
