Jack and Annie go on a time traveling adventure to Greenland.  While there, they see a narwhal that is trapped in the ice and help to free it.  They also meet a boy named Erikson and learn that he is the son of famed explorer Leif Erikson.  

Much like other Magic Tree House books, this is a fast and simple adventure for young readers.  I liked the setting of Greenland, the information about Narwhals and the explanation on how the sun stays in the sky during the night in Greenland.  There are interesting black and white drawings that help tell the story and that help break up the text for younger readers.
