Lottie and her dog Biscuit live on Branksea Island. It’s the best
place in the world, with a castle, a lighthouse, a forest and a
beach. Best of all, her friends Mia and Finn live there too. The
children LOVE playing on the sand in their pirate ship – until
one day it disappears. Lottie and friends – and Biscuit –
search every inch of the island until at last they spot their ship.
Local artist Annie thought the pirate ship was just a broken old
boat that would make a lovely flower-planter! Can the children use
their creativity and imagination to show Annie just how important
the pirate ship is to them – and how much fun they have with it?

cliff face, via a net that hangs from the back of the house, to
collect eggs, nuts and other things from the inhabitants of the
wall. When rumours begin to circulate of monsters climbing from the
base to gobble up unsuspecting wall-dwellers, Tabitha is worried
for all her friends. Determined to save them, Tabitha seeks out the
elusive and eccentric Dr Sherback. The doctor introduces her to a
whole new world at the base - one that is dark, dangerous and
absolutely thrilling - but not even Dr Sherback's vast knowledge
can slow the terrible creatures climbing to the top of the wall.
With a clever plan, and not a small amount of courage, can Tabitha
stop the monsters and keeps the people she loves safe for good?
