It was a rainy, boring day when Jack and Annie decide to go to their magic tree house.  They have fond lots of adventures here in the past.  On this particular rainy day a book with a beautiful beach scene carries them to an island.  On this island they run into trouble when pirates show up looking for their treasure. I would  have my sixth grade students read this book and add activities that have to do with counting and traveling.  I think this will make my students have fun learning and encourage them to pay attention to the book.
