He's heard plenty of strange tales about her from the kids at school, but it's nothing like meeting Mrs Trelawney in the flesh. It's all connected to his mother winning a holiday to the Bahamas, which turns out to be full of perils for poor Jock, a wild treasure hunt with gunmen bent on finding the pirate's treasure before Jock does.
