Overview

A group of young friends travel back in time to key periods in history in this new chapter book adventure series, making learning fun! A normal day of hide-and-seek turns into the discovery of a lifetime when five young friends are transported back in time after finding a secret clubhouse at the top of a sycamore tree. Dubbing themselves the Tree House Club, Ashley, Emma, Keith, Aaron, and Harry learn that events of the past didn't necessarily unfold the way they learned in school. The treehouse has magical abilities that take Ashley and her friends to Guanahani in 1492, a time the kids requested to witness Christopher Columbus' first arrival on his voyage to the New World! There, the friends meet the kind and generous Taino Lukku-Cairo tribespeople who welcome their new visitors with food and gifts. It isn't long before the Taino chief, Tiburon, and the Tree House Club friends see three sailing ships approaching. With history on their side, the kids realize it is the famed explorer, Christopher Columbus, who quickly makes his claim for the Taino's native land for the Queen of Spain. The kids soon learn that what their history books did not teach them was some of the lesser-known facts about Columbus, his greedy intentions in Guanahani-or San Salvador, as he named it-and his poor treatment of the humble Taino people. But the children's friendships with the Taino put their own lives in danger from the European colonists. Will the treehouse save them in time? Order your copy now and find out!
