THE MAGIC CABIN, VOLUME 17 - ON THE TRAIL OF THE INDIANS

THE MAGIC TREEHOUSE, BOOK 17 - ON THE TRAIL OF THE INDIANS

A human and wild adventure to the rhythm of nature and sacred buffaloes! After brilliantly completing their first quests, Tom and Léa begin a brand new cycle of missions for the fairy Morgane: they must learn to use four different creative magics. For their first challenge, the magic treehouse transports them two hundred years back in time to the plains of the American West, where they meet the Lakota people.

There, the two children meet Black Feather, a young boy their age who will introduce them to a way of life completely connected to nature. Tom and Léa learn to listen to the wind, to decode animal tracks, and to respect the spirit of the Earth. But the adventure takes a thrilling turn when a huge herd of buffaloes, surprised by a danger, threatens to trample the camp! To save their new friends, Tom and Léa will have to show extraordinary intuition and courage. A deeply touching story that combines action, the great outdoors, and lessons in humility before the living world!
