Magic Tree House #36: Blizzard of the Blue Moon

This is the fourth book of the mini-quest. The mission in this book is to find a unicorn on public display in New York City way back in 1938.
Jack and Annie go to free the unicorn but they don't know where it is. They think it's in the Bronx Zoo, but it's not. They go on the train but they don't know what stop the zoo is. They ask a girl who is really Kathleen, their friend. Kathleen tells them to get off at the wrong stop, which is a good thing because Teddy was sitting out there with a taxi. They didn't notice that Kathleen was the girl and Teddy was the taxi driver. Teddy left them stranded a foot away from the Cloisters Museum. Inside they find a unicorn woven in a tapestry. Annie thinks it's the real unicorn and calls out the wrong name because Merlin sent them only with a hint, not the real name. Then two people sent by the Dark Wizard call out the real name and the spell is broken and the unicorn awakes. Before people from the dark wizard rope the unicorn, Jack and Annie get onto the unicorn and ride back to the tree house.
Teddy brings Kathleen, Merlin and Morgan to the tree house but before it happens Jack and Annie turn the Dark Wizard's people into ducks. Then they fly away with the flock of ducks flying south for the winter. Merlin and Morgan take the unicorn back to Camelot and Jack and Annie go home.
I hope you like this book, because I did.

  1. Oliver, what a fun story to read. I am just wondering how the book got its title. What is the Blizzard of the Blue Moon? I guess I'll just have to read it to find out.
