In earlier books, I described how I came to live with Emma, now aged 6 and Jack, now aged 8, how I used to fight with Ginger, the family's tomcat and how I had so much fun with all sorts of animals such as foxes and horses. But if that wasn't enough excitement for a puppy, a very old and very big Grandfather clock came into the house and taught me how to become a Magic Dog. Being a Magic Dog allowed me to do tricks, of course, but it also helped me do some really important things - such as helping the police during a bank robbery and saving a herd of elephants from a gang of poachers. Now my Magic Powers were going to be really tested again. The Grandfather clock sent me on a mission to a remote and deserted island in the middle of the ocean to save a family who had been shipwrecked. As if this wasn't difficult enough, I had to also save them from a motley crew of desperados, a shipful of cut-throat Pirates. Read how I, until recently just an ordinary, land-lubber pooch, managed to fly over land and sea, through clouds and rainbows (and time) to go back to the 5th January 1705 - for then was when my adventure began. This book describes what happened.
