This is Magic Tree House book 33. Well, what happened was Jack and Annie went to the tree house and the tree house started to spin and it spun faster and faster and then everything was still absullutly still; they were on a mission to save the grand lady of the lagoon and so they ended up in Venice. There's lots of floods and Jack and Annie had to stop it so they read a rhyme and a statue came alive and they saw Neptune and told him to calm the waves down because he was ruler of seas.
