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.

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?
