The 29th book in the Magic Treehouse series is titled "Christmas in Camelot." In this book, siblings Jack and Annie travel back in time to the mythical land of Camelot, where they meet King Arthur and his knights. It is Christmas Eve, and Camelot is under a spell that has caused it to be perpetually winter. Jack and Annie must find four special gifts to help break the spell and save Camelot. Along the way, they meet various characters from Arthurian legend, such as Merlin the magician and Morgan le Fay. The children also learn the importance of giving and helping others during the holiday season.
That implies the doodoo-banquetor made it to the Haligtree, as the defilement leaves a person to die,
Alternate Seedbed Curse If the Erdtree has been set ablaze, the Seedbed Curse in the alternate Roundtable Hold can be found in a different location, on a corpse underneath a wooden shack protected by a gargoyle found outside of the alternate Roundtable Hold. This means that machines may refuse to work as the spirits in them decide not to cooperate , animals become hostile possibly even attacking and plants and weather really do conspire against the subject.
The children also learn the importance of giving and helping others during the holiday season. This book combines history, fantasy, and holiday cheer to create an engaging and educational story. It teaches young readers about the legend of King Arthur and the traditions of Christmas.
Veiled Curse
Kindred believe that this ritual marks a mortal as cursed, and that the power of the magic forces spirits to harass him. The subject must be within sight of the ritualist when the ritual is completed, or it fails automatically. The subject’s Composure is subtracted from all activation rolls. The effects of the ritual persist for one night per success on the activation roll.
This ritual does not actually curse a mortal, it simply makes him visible and significant to spirits. In practice, this is a curse, as plenty of spirits have no love for humans. This means that machines may refuse to work (as the spirits in them decide not to cooperate), animals become hostile (possibly even attacking) and plants and weather really do conspire against the subject. As a rule of thumb, the subject suffers a one-die penalty to any actions taken while cursed, and must deal with a great many unhelpful circumstances, as the Storyteller sees fit (rain, broken Equipment, etc.).
The ritual has no effect on Kindred — their corpses cannot be brought to the attention of the spirits in this way. The ritual also has no effect on werewolves and mages, as they are already the subjects of much spiritual notice. The ritual does affect Ghouls, the wolf-blooded and Sleepwalkers, although spirits may react slightly differently to such mortals. Ghouls, in particular, tend to be the target of more focused hostility.
See "Storytellers Option: Acolytes are Wrong" in Crúac for details on this ritual.

I believe his reason for doing these things, could be his mindset: If everyone is cursed, no one is cursed. A modern example would be: If everyone has no legs, then no one would be treated differently, and it would become the new norm

Reviews for "Discovering Ancient Artifacts in the 29th Magic Treehouse Book"
- Jack - 2 stars - While I've been a fan of the Magic Treehouse series for years, I must say that the 29th book left me disappointed. The plot felt rushed and underdeveloped, with Mary Pope Osborne trying to fit in too many ideas into one story. Additionally, the characters lacked depth and I found it hard to connect with them. Overall, this book didn't live up to the standards set by the previous installments in the series.
- Emma - 1 star - I found the 29th book in the Magic Treehouse series to be extremely predictable and boring. It seemed like Mary Pope Osborne was just going through the motions, rehashing old ideas without bringing anything new or exciting to the table. The storyline felt forced and the magical elements lacked the enchantment I've come to expect from this series. I was left feeling unsatisfied and uninterested in continuing with the next book.
- Liam - 2 stars - As an avid reader of the Magic Treehouse series, I was let down by the 29th book. The plot was weak and didn't engage me from the start. The adventures felt repetitive and didn't offer anything fresh or captivating. I found myself skimming through pages, waiting for something interesting to happen, but it never did. I hope that the next book in the series brings back the magic and excitement I fell in love with initially.
- Isabella - 3 stars - While I have enjoyed previous books in the Magic Treehouse series, the 29th book fell short of my expectations. The story felt disjointed and lacked a clear direction. The pacing was off, with certain scenes dragging on while others felt rushed. However, I appreciated the educational elements woven into the plot, as Osborne always does a great job of introducing historical facts to young readers. Overall, the 29th book didn't live up to its predecessors, but it still had some redeeming qualities.
