THE MAGIC TREEHOUSE, BOOK 33 - LEONARDO DA VINCI'S SECRET

THE MAGIC TREEHOUSE, BOOK 41 - THE SNOW DOG

Tom and Léa have never had a moment's rest with time travel, but things take a real nightmare turn with "The Snow Dog", the forty-first book in the cult series The Magic Treehouse. Between an icy blizzard, a threatening avalanche, and an overall atmosphere of great danger, the survival of lost travelers is at stake! While this expedition into the heart of the Swiss Alps promised to be exciting, the reality is much worse: sent by the fairy Morgane to the Great St Bernard Pass, Tom and Léa realize they will have to find their way in the middle of a snowstorm, far from the comfort of their home. To complete their mission and guide the monks of the hospice, the brother and sister have no choice: they must arm themselves with courage and team up with Barry, a young, energetic, but still inexperienced St Bernard dog. But between invisible crevasses, the polar cold, and Tom's legendary fear of the raging elements, this rescue mission at the top of the mountains will quickly turn into a gigantic race against time!

Combining, as always, captivating illustrations with an accessible and fast-paced text, this book explores bravery, wild nature, and mutual aid between man and animal with a sense of suspense that will make young readers shiver with excitement.
