This book is dedicated to Mary Pope Osborne for her magic tree houses that I love.

Jack was reading a book in the living room when Annie came bursting in.

"Jack! Jack!" she said. 

"What?" replied Jack.

"The treehouse is back!"

"What? Is it?!"

"Yeah!" said Annie. Jack looked out the window. "We can't. It's getting dark." "Well, then ask permission from Mom," said Annie. And so Jack went to their mom and asked, "Mom, can we go outside?" "Don't stay there for over ten minutes." "Okay!" said Jack. He went back into to Annie and said,"We can go outside."

Jack went to the front door and opened it for Annie. "But how many minutes did Mom give us -" "Just go!" said Jack. "Okay! Okay!" said Annie.

Annie went outside and so did Jack. "Did mom give us ten minutes?" she asked Jack.

"Yes," replied Jack. They crossed the road and into the Frog Creek Woods. Then they walked and walked and walked until they bumped into the tallest Oak in the woods. They looked up. There they saw the treehouse. It WAS back. They climbed up the rope ladder. When they got in, they saw Morgan La Fey. Jack had a happy feeling in him."This will be your last adventure," Morgan said.

Jack's happy feeling faded.

"I know," Morgan said. "It's such a shame but I have something to remind you about me." She reached into one of her pockets and pulled out a scroll. She handed it to Annie. Annie took the scroll while Jack opened his backpack. Annie put the scroll inside his backpack. "For your research," Morgan said. She reached into another pocket and pulled out a book. She handed it to Jack. Jack took the book and read the title. It was about logging in the 19th century. The cover showed a forest with trees cut down.

"Good luck!" said Morgan. Then Jack pointed to the book and made a wish. "I wish we could go there!" he said.   

The wind began to blow.

It blew harder and harder.

Jack squeezed his eyes shut.

The treehouse started to spin. 

It spun faster and faster

Then everything was still.

Absolutely still.

CHAPTER 2

Jack opened his eyes. He looked out of the treehouse window. He saw a forest with some cut-down trees. He opened his backpack and pulled out the research book and started reading it. He read, "The Olympic forest was a big forest in the 19th century. Then it was almost wiped out of history. One reason is illegal-"

CHOP!!!!!! CHOP!!!!!CHOP!!!!

Jack was so surprised that he jumped. The book flew out of his hands. His backpack opened up, his notebook and pencil flew out. The scroll bounced in his backpack. Annie was also surprised by the sudden loud sound. She looked out the window.

She nearly fell out when she saw a man with an axe and cutting down trees. She also saw some logs. She rushed towards Jack and told him, " It's a man who is cutting down trees." Jack gasped. "A logger!" he said. "A what? I'm going to talk to him."

"Wait!" said Jack. Too late. Annie had already gone down the rope ladder. She went to the logger. "Who are you?" she asked.

CHAPTER 3

"Who am I?" said the logger. "I am a guard."

"Then why do you have-"

"I save these massive trees from loggers. All I have to do is I just swim towards the ship if I see a logger ship and then I use my axe to make a hole in the hull of the ship and then boom! The ship sinks before it reaches the land. So, if you are looking for loggers you better go to someplace else  in this area."

"Okay," said Annie.

Annie looked back at the treehouse and saw Jack already coming down.

Afterward, they were heading deeper into the forest.

"You know, that person sounded like an Eastern European. Is he really a logger?" Annie asked.

"I don't know," said Jack. "Maybe we can find answers in the book."

He reached into his backpack and pulled out the book. He skimmed the book and tried to find the chapter: Where do loggers come from? He found the right page and began reading it. He read, "Loggers came from Eastern Europe. Pioneers came and were astonished to see the massive trees. They came back to tell the people about the massive trees. Later on, loggers came and began chopping trees down for ship parts.

They sailed-"

"That's enough facts," said Annie, " So, loggers came from Eastern Europe."

 Annie had a stern look on her face.

"I was trying to tell you that he was a logger earlier," said Jack.

Annie ran towards the logger. The logger was still too busy cutting trees. Annie crept closer, and closer toward the logger. Jack grabbed his notebook and took notes.

Loggers come from Eastern Europe 

He put the book, his notebook, and his pencil into his backpack. Then he followed Annie. He saw her

creep closer to the logger. When she was so close to the logger, she stopped. Then stepped forward a bit. "This is close enough," she thought. "What is she doing?" Jack thought. When Annie was in position she said sternly, "Hi!"

  CHAPTER 4

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"yelled the logger. He was so surprised that he jumped and dropped his axe. So surprised that PING! His suspenders fell off. Then his pants fell off. He was wearing his favorite heart-decorated underpants. Annie laughed. She laughed so hard that she didn't see a mud splat heading toward her face. When the mud hit her face, she stopped laughing and started screaming. The logger was lifting his pants up. When he saw Annie, he let go of his pants and pointed at Annie. He laughed. His pants fell off again. Jack snickered. He pulled out his notebook

and pencil and began to make a list:

How to recognize a logger:

axe

And he also saw the logger wearing a white and blue striped shirt and a cap. So he added to his list:

blue and white striped shirt

cap

Last of all, he added:

jeans

He put his notebook and pencil into his backpack.

"You almost wiped out the Olympic forest!" Annie said to the logger when he got his pants and suspenders back on. "How do you know?" He asked. "Because I come

from the future," Jack thought and guessed. "Because I come from the future," said Annie. The logger gasped. He looked like he fainted but he didn't. "Hmmm," Annie said. She went to hide with Jack in the bush he was hiding in. "Let's climb this tree," Jack said, leaning on the tree they were gonna climb on. "Ok," said Annie. They climbed the tree. They could see the logger down below. The tree they climbed was thick. About 36 feet in diameter. Jack wanted to learn more about how loggers cut trees. He knew that they cut with cross-saws and axes. But when do they push it and say timber? He looked it up in the book. He read, "Loggers push a tree down when they had cut past the halfway point." "Huh,

interesting. I should write that down," said Jack. So he put the book right beside him and got his notebook and pencil out of his backpack. He began to write:

Loggers cut until they get

past halfway point.

Then they push it and say,

Timberrrrrrrrr!

And he knew that loggers came from Eastern Europe because he read it to Annie earlier. So he wrote:

Loggers come from Eastern Europe.

 e

He put the book, his notebook, and his pencil in his backpack. When he had all the things in his backpack, he caught sight of Annie looking down below. She was looking at the logger. He got up. Then, with no warning, Annie took off the tree they were on.

CHAPTER 5

"Wait!" Jack said. Too late. Annie had already gotten down. When she reached the ground, the logger picked up his axe."Remember me?" said Annie. The logger nodded. Jack listened to what Annie had said. Suddenly, there was a CRACK! Jack was so surprised that he jumped off the branch he was sitting on. Luckily, he jumped over to another branch as that branch fell down. He swung like he was swinging from one vine to another. When the other tree fell down, the logger said, "TIMBERRRR!!!!" "Oh, so the thing I was reading about when do loggers say timber was true," Jack thought.

Jack saw Annie has started to collect those acorn-shaped things. She got a few to take home. She put them in a pile and went off to find one more. When she ran off, the logger put the seeds into some sunlight. When Annie saw the acorn-shaped things in the sunlight, she went toward them. The logger knew that she was going to put the seeds back, so he said, "Don't!"

"Why?" Annie asked.

"Just wait."

"Okay," Annie said. After a few minutes, seeds bursted out. 

"Woah," Jack said.

Annie and the logger quickly buried the seeds.

Jack wrote:

Seeds from the Olympic

forest are thrown

out of acorn-shaped

things. 

Then put his notebook and pencil back in his backpack. When Jack looked back, he couldn't see either Annie or the logger. He was about to call Annie's name when he saw footprints. He went down from the tree and began to follow the footprints. He knew that Annie was somewhere.

CHAPTER 6

Meanwhile, Annie and the logger went to get some water with a wooden bucket for the seeds they buried. While Jack crashed into some leaves of a tree, he didn't see Annie and the logger. Nor did Annie and the logger see Jack. "AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" they said when they crashed into each other. When they realized that it was only them who bumped into each other, they sighed a relief.  Jack pulled out the scroll Morgan gave them earlier and showed it to Annie.

She read it aloud:

While Annie was reading, the logger looked around. He barely saw any trees. "Hmmmmm... if I want my daughter's future to be just fine, I should do more planting and do less logging," he thought. So when Annie turned

Dear Jack and Annie, 

Your mission is to find a logger, tell him to do

less logging and do more planting. Good luck!

Morgan

around to speak to the logger, the logger said, "I will do less logging and do more planting." Annie was speechless. Then she asked the logger, "What's your name?"

"My name is Ed. Ed Mullikin."

"Oh. Okay," said Annie. Jack noticed that Annie was carrying a wooden bucket filled with water. "Annie, why are you carrying that wooden bucket?" Jack asked. "Oh. The water's for the seeds that Ed and I have planted," said Annie.

"Who's Ed? Is he some kind of crazy imaginary character that you made up?"

"Of course not. He's the logger."

"Oh. Okay," said Jack. He took off. He raced up the tree to get the Olympic book. He turned to the page that he left off earlier. He continued:

"One reason is illegal logging. In fact, a singer named Michael Jackson sang a song called The Earth Song on June 5th, 2005 to remind people about the effects of illegal logging. They do logging every year though." "Oh, I should write that down," Jack said. He got his notebook and pencil and began to write:

Michael Jackson composed

earth song on June 5th, 

2005.

Still do logging though.

When he looked up, he saw Annie and Ed. He looked at the sun. He and Annie were there for about forty-five minutes.
