THE MAGIC TREEHOUSE, BOOK 15 - DANGER ON THE ICE CAP

A frosty, suspenseful journey to the land of ice and northern lights! For their third mission as Master Librarians, Morgan le Fay sends Tom and Mary to explore one of the planet's most extreme environments. The Magic Treehouse whisks them away to the Arctic, to the frozen ice cap of the Far North, where they must retrieve an ancient text essential to preserving knowledge.

But surviving such extreme cold is a real challenge for our two young adventurers! Fortunately, they meet a friendly Inuit hunter who welcomes them warmly, lends them warm fur clothing, and shows them his traditional way of life. Things get even more difficult when Tom and Mary come face to face with a mother polar bear and her cubs, or when the ice threatens to break beneath their feet... Between dog sled rides, cozy igloos, and the wonders of the wilderness, the duo will have to show great courage and respect for the polar wildlife to succeed in their quest. A captivating story that perfectly combines adventure, tradition, and awareness of the beauty of extreme environments!
