Magic Tree House #27: Thanksgiving on Thursday

The Magic Tree House whisks Jack and Annie back to the eve of the first Thanksgiving. There they meet the Pilgrims as well as Squanto, a Native American who helped them. The story offers an age-appropriate, in-depth picture of what life was really like for early settlers, as well as the usual Magic Tree House adventure and excitement.
對美國的小孩來說，感恩節是個特別的日子，因為這象徵著分享、族群和平與…沒錯，令人垂涎的火雞大餐！傑克與安妮前往1621年的美國，參加世界第一個感恩節的宴會…不過，手忙腳亂的兩兄妹能夠幫忙清教徒們完成宴會嗎？
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和非洲雨林裡，找到了兩種魔法，現在，他們就要踏上尋找特殊魔法的第三趟旅程……
這一次，神奇樹屋把傑克和安妮帶回1621年美國的普利茅斯灣，在那裡，他們遇見了搭乘五月花號從英格蘭來到美國的清教徒移民。他們要傑克和安妮幫忙準備感恩節大餐。然而，不管是煮菜還是抓蛤蜊，傑克和安妮都不知道該怎麼用清教徒的方式去做。他們會就此毀掉第一個感恩節嗎？還是這個節日會永遠持續下去？這對小兄妹又該如何找到那特殊的魔法，讓三個世界合而為一？
