The Robinsons are a bit down on their luck this Christmas. So when young Beany Robinson hears about "Dolphin Luck," she knows she has to get some for her family. Her mother has pneumonia, and the four Robinson children are scattered with other families until Mrs. Robinson can recuperate. If Beany can just find the magic Viking sword with a dolphin-shaped hilt, she can wish everything right again. What happens to each family member before the Robinsons are reunited is at the heart of this touching, hilarious, totally absorbing story -- a terrific companion to Dog Friday and The Amber Cat.

It's Christmas, and the inhabitants of Porridge Hall are suffering from the winter blues. The weather is horrible, Mrs Robinson's ill, and, to top it all off, the Brogan's dog, Old Blanket, dies. So when the children hear the tale of a dolphin sword which brings good fortune, they're determined to track it down . . .Unfortunately, however, Mrs Robinson is in decline, so Ant and Perry are shipped off to stay with Aunt Mabel, while Beany and Sun Dance are left with Mrs Brogan. Aunt Mabel, it transpires, is a silver-haired eccentric living in a menagerie - and not at all what the children expect. Then Sun Dance discovers a burglar, and the mystery of Aunt Mabel is revealed . . .
