Jack and Annie step into the Magic Tree House for another adventure. This time the magical treehouse launches them into space and lands on the moon's surface. They wear spacesuits and carry oxygen tanks as they explore the lunar landscape. The siblings must locate the final "M" item to break the enchantment that holds Morgan le Fay captive. Time runs short as their air supply dwindles with each passing moment. A strange figure appears on the moon, but Jack and Annie cannot tell if this moon man will help or hinder their quest. Meanwhile, Peanut the mouse behaves oddly, adding another puzzle to solve. The children face their biggest challenge yet as they search the barren moonscape. They must succeed before their oxygen runs out and they become stranded in space forever.
