Autor:Mary Pope Osborne
Ilustrator:Sal Murdocca
Here's the summary: Jack and Annie want to find : Something to send, so, they went to the Revolutionary War. When they arrived, it was very cold. They stepped out of the tree house and saw a little campfire with men around it. Jack and Annie think that they're Redcoats or Patriots. They wanted to know so they hides behind 2 trees and 1 rock. They were very close to the men."Be serious now." said Jack. "I am serious!" said Annie, her voice rising."Shh!" said Jack. But it was too late. A man stood up and looked around. "Who was speaking ?"
-Just 2 kids. Annie answered.
"Spies!" said the man.
Jack said that they were not spies, they just wanted to know they were Redcoats or Patriots. The men said:"What do you want us to be?"Jack said Patriots and the man said: -We are patriots.
"THANK GOODNESS!!!" said Annie.
The man said that he's a captain and he asked where they came from. Annie and Jack said Frog Creek.But another man said "He's there!".And the captain said to them (Jack and Annie) "He's there!"."Who's there?" asked Annie.But the captain was following his men.Jack and Annie followed the captain and his men and arrived at a place full of Patriots. A person on a horse come and read a piece of paper… It was the commander in chief who read this piece of paper! He looked very familiar to the eyes of Jack...He gasped. It was George Washington!!
-Annie! It's George Washington!
-Cool! said Annie.
Jack read the documentary of the Revolutionary War and said to Annie that they're(the Patriots) gonna go on a secret mission.And that's the secret mission: They want to go fight the Redcoats in December 25, with a blizzard outside!! And the Redcoats didn't know, because:BLIZZARD!! When George Washington finished to read the piece of paper, he said to his men: Gonna go fighting! Then, the captain gave Jack a letter and he said: If you see a boy and a girl at Frog Creek, give them this letter…But if the fighting is okay,(the Patriots win)don't give them this letter. OK, said Jack. Then the captain followed George Washington. Jack remember: Something to send!
He have to find Annie because something to
send!!"Annie!!!" cried Jack."Annie!!"."I'm here!!"
said Annie. Jack saw Annie and she was in a boat!She's gonna cross the Delaware river with the Patriots! "Annie! I have the something to send! Don't cross the river!" cried Jack. "You come!" answered Annie. "No!" But he was coming with Annie.When they finished to cross the Delaware, George Washington said:I'm tired, I don't want to fight.But Annie said:"Don't be tired! Continue!"
"How do you know that?" said the commander in chief.
-She just guessed, said Jack. Ok, so you (he pointed a Patriot) go help the 2 kids cross the river and go to their family, said George… they went to the magic tree house when they finished to cross the Delaware and go home.
