When Jake persuades his family to embark on a sailing-camping holiday on a small Tasmanian island, he is mostly interested in pirate fantasies and his new sailing dinghy. But he does not plan on events which are to leave him isolated with his brother and sister as well as a couple of Kiwi kids. Ultimately, after being forced to dig deep into their personal reserves, the treasures they all gain are very different from the ones Jake has set out to find.
An uplifting Ransome genre novel of youthful naivety, cameraderie, calamity and courage which has shown significant appeal to readers in the nine to ninety-nine age bracket.
Jon Tucker is already being hailed for bringing the Ransome genre squarely into the twenty-first century.
