Emily really did not want to go and stay with Laura and Harry Pinks. But with Mum about to go into hospital, she had no choice. Her fears would prove unfounded as living with the Pinks was going to be anything but dull and ordinary. In fact, Emily's life would never be the same again. The arrival of a bedraggled, rain-soaked Uncle Wilf late one stormy night, with his parrot, Autolocus in tow, would dramatically change the course of the summer. For Uncle Wilf had also brought along another not-so-welcome visitor - the fearsome pirate ghost, Tobias. Soon after, some very odd things begin to happen and piratey pandemonium and magical mayhem ensue. Caught up in the whirlwind, Emily quickly feels like part of the family and doesn't want the adventure to end - ever. But Mum would soon be well and she'd have to go back to that grotty third-floor flat with no pets allowed...wouldn't she?
