Magic Tree House #26: Good Morning, Gorillas

The Magic Tree House whisks Jack and Annie off to the mountains of Africa. There they run into a huge mountain gorilla! At first they don’t know whether they should shake hands or turn tail. But the ominous-looking creature turns out to be surprisingly gentle. Not only that, the gorilla may be able to help them learn their next bit of magic, which Morgan has challenged them to do.
傑克與安妮兄妹跟著魔力樹屋來到非洲，尋訪神秘而巨大的生物：大猩猩。妹妹很清楚怎麼跟猩猩們相處，但是哥哥粗心大意的，這會給傑克帶來什麼樣的大麻煩呢？
為了感謝傑克和安妮的幫忙，摩根要他們去學習不需要魔杖或咒語的特殊魔法。他們在伊莉莎白女王時代的英格蘭，找到了劇院的魔法，現在，他們就要踏上尋找特殊魔法的第二趟旅程……
神奇樹屋把傑克和安妮帶到非洲山區的雲霧林，在那裡，他們遇見了一群山地大猩猩，安妮立刻和這些大猩猩玩在一起，但傑克被遺忘在一邊，融不進他們的嬉戲當中。大猩猩頭目銀背一直觀察著傑克的一舉一動，牠是溫柔的巨人，還是龐大的怪物？這場有趣的探險會變成一場惡夢嗎？這對小兄妹又該如何找到那特殊的魔法，用雙手與心靈說一種特別的語言？
