Audition Central: Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon KIDS

Script: Jonah

ANNIE

I’m Annie, and this is my brother, Jack.

JONAH

Can I ask you something, Annie and Jack?

ANNIE, JACK

Sure.

JONAH

How did you learn to read? I mean, you’re just kids.

ANNIE

Where we come from, most kids can read.

JONAH

Really?


JACK

Yeah, and it’s great. We read all the time, all sorts of books.

JONAH

You have more than one book?!

ANNIE

Of course. We have whole libraries. Stacks and stacks of books about everything you can imagine. And more.

JACK

So if we ever start to get bored, there’s always something new to read!

JONAH

I wish I could learn to read! Then maybe I wouldn’t feel so alone on this ship.

ANNIE

You can learn to read!

JONAH

But how?
