Cousin Dick comes over to visit. Jo, Bessie and Fanny soon learn that sharing the magic tree with him was a mistake as he is neither polite to interact with others, nor can he control his mischievous habits. He classily puts himself and others in trouble. Rescuing Dick becomes yet another adventure. Join the children and their magical friends again in The Magic Faraway Tree, the second book in The Faraway Tree series, on their trips to new lands, where they meet a host of new characters that help them with their troubles and also teach them what it means to work together and be there for one another.
