In the story when jack and Annie receive a letter; I can compare to that when there was a time I received a letter from my friend that went to another school. There was another time when I got a letter from my cousin that lived in Greenville.
The purpose of the author is to fill the reader with suspense, excitement, and imagination. The character's motive is that the more that Annie and Jack read the research book or letter they try to look for more clues and go farther in their adventure.
I have read about 2 kids that go on amazing adventures by traveling in a magical tree house that take them any where in the past. In this novel the the 2 kids go on an adventure to the revolutionary war. As they go they read this letter that tells them all about the revolutionary war, and they try to complete their goals.
The setting of the story is a long snow stormy night. The setting and action of this story is important if they would have got the setting wrong, then it wouldn't be much of the right history that they're trying to tell.
A fact from this book is that the revolutionary war really did happen. "1775-1782, American Patriots fought for independence from Britian". The fiction part about this book is that 2 kids traveled back in time to the revolutionary war in a magic tree house.
