The magic tree house was back. Annie could always tell when it was back. Immediately she and Jack ran to the woods and climbed up there. They saw the scrolls, the twig, and the pouch of corn seeds from last three trips. In the corner, a piece of paper was sticking out of a book, titled A VISIT TO OLD HAWAII, which would help this journey. The piece Morgan left was a new secret rhyme, "To find a special magic, build a special kind of ship that rides the waves, both high and low, on every kind of trip."




The tree house landed on top of a tall palm tree which was at the edge of a flowery meadow. A cliff dropped down to the beach and ocean on one side of the meadow, and other side of the meadow were the rooftops of a small village. Hawaii was like a garden paradise.


Sounds of music and laughter floated on the breeze from the village. When they got close there, they saw an open area filled with people who were all barefoot and wore wreaths of flowers around their necks. While a woman chanted, other people played music. Most of the villagers were dancing the hula to the music. The early Hawaiians had no written language, so they told stories with hula dancing instead.


The Hawaiians gathered around Jack and Annie. They all had friendly, open faces. A girl, Kama, and her brother Boka pulled off their wreath of red fluffy flowers and put it around Jack and Annie's necks. The lei and saying "Aloha!" was meant to welcome them. They all were amazingly nice.


The four of them sat in the grass and talked with each other eating poi in a wooden bowl with their fingers. Kama wanted to know about Jack and Annie' home. Her friendly smile made Jack want to tell the truth. He said they traveled here in a magic tree house, and he felt great telling their new friends about it.


Kama wished Jack and Annie could sleep over, so their mother invited them to sleep at their house which had no door, namely a wide entrance that opened into one large room, dried-grass walls and a woven-grass mats on the dirt floor.


When Jack and Annie woke up next day, family of Boka were all working. Boka was pounding a wide strip of bark for tapa and Kama was pounding a taro roots for poi, and their parents were weaving grass mats.


After finishing their chores, they took Jack and Annie to the ocean. Before the beach, they led into the grove of palms for breakfast. They whacked with rocks and shared coconuts and picked bananas off banana tree and shared, too.


Breakfast was over, then they all went to the beach. Stepping onto the beach, Jack said he wouldn't mind just taking a walk on the beach, but no one seemed to hear. They had all walked over to a row of wooden surfboards propped against the rocks.


They all stopped at the edge of the water with boards. First they needed to get past the breaking waves. Kama, Boka, and Annie moved farther out into the ocean and threw their boards over the wave and dove into it, but Jack couldn't that. Boka and Kama pulled themselves onto their boards, lay on their bellies, and began paddling with their hands out to sea. Even Annie paddled fast back toward the shore, and stood up with one foot forward and stretch out their arms to keep their balance.


Out of the corner of his eye, Jack saw other kids standing up on the boards. He desired to be like them, but he lost his balance and the wave crashed down on top of him. Lastly he dragged himself out of the ocean, and fell onto the sand.


Others ran to the Jack whose eyes and nose burned from the salt water. He just wanted to read about surfing first, but other kids said he should just try it again. As Annie pulled the book out of his hands and he jerked it away from her, Kama and Boka laughed. Jack snapped to them that they didn't even know how to read. They looked hurt. He did feel sorry, but he was too upset to say so. Three of them went back to the ocean.


As Jack sat alone on the beach, suddenly he heard a rumbling from under the sand and the ground started to shake. It was an earthquake! He read the research book as fast as he could, that Earthquakes in Hawaii had been known to cause tsunamis. A tsunami might be coming! They had to get to higher ground. Jack forgot all about their fight.


He ran into the ocean with his surfboard, and he yelled at the top of his lungs. They paddled quickly toward him with worried faces. They all knew coming tsunamis, then they all started paddling to the beach in a flash.


They ran and scrambled up the cliff. At the top of the cliff, everyone looked back. A wave was rising up like a dark mountain of water, then it came surging toward the shore, growing even taller. They bolted back from the edge of the rocky slope. The mountain of water crashed against the cliff. Water sprayed over the top of the rocks and rained down on them.


That was when all villagers racing across the meadow toward them. Everyone was laughing and crying and hugging each other. The hugging died down, then the villagers gathered around with musical instrument. Boka, Kama, and Annie waved their hands in time to the music. They stepped from side to side and swayed their hips. Kama chanted about their story and all the villagers joined in the dance. Then Jack surprised himself, because he was doing the hula. When the story ended, everyone clapped.


Four of them were a good team and best friends. Kama said, "Our mother says friendship is like riding the waves. Sometimes you ride low, gentle waves. Sometimes you ride high, rough ones." Finally, Jack and Annie found the special magic, friendship. That was the ship!


It was time to go back. Hawaiian said aloha when they greet their friends, and they said when they leave them. Friends are always together even when they are far apart, said Boka. Jack and Annie waved to all the villagers "Aloha!"




As they came back to the their woods, Morgan le Fay was in the magic tree house. Annie still had her lei which was proof that they found the special magic. Morgan picked up four things which was poof that Jack and Annie found special magic from four journeys. "You are now Magicians of Everyday Magic. You have learned to find the magic in things you encounter on earth every day. They are many other forms of everyday magic. You never have to look far to find it. You only have to live your life to the fullest."


Jack and Annie walked out of the woods. Down the street their mom and dad were standing on their front porch and they waved at Jack and Annie. Jack felt a surge of happiness. There was another kind of everyday magic, the magic of family, he thought.
