When eleven year old Emily and her mother are forced to move from their house into a cramped, third-floor flat, she has to return the new puppy she has always longed for. To make matters worse, when her mother becomes ill shy Emily is sent to stay with Gertie Pink, the lollipop lady and her boisterous twins. Emily soon finds herself swept up in the extraordinary events of the Pinks’ household with the dramatic arrival of their eccentric Uncle Wilf whose house has been washed into the sea during a storm. While he is recovering from pneumonia, Emily is thrilled to be given charge of his talking parrot, Autolocus but dreads having to tell the old man when the bird unexpectedly disappears. However, Wilf has a confession of his own to make: he has brought with him Tobias, the ghost of a 17th century pirate who haunted his house in Devon. Visible only to Wilf and Emily, this terrifying buccaneer has a tale of his own to tell. Autolocus at last returns and the family are amazed when he lays an egg! But one night the priceless, magical egg is stolen, and the parrot is grief-stricken. Emily and the twins must find it quickly, but which of the story’s colourful characters is responsible? And will they rescue it in time?
In this final instalment of Emily's adventures, two problems face her and the Pinks. First: Raphus, world-famous half-parrot, half-dodo is dangerously ill due to the absence of his mother, Tolly, the parrot. She is holidaying on Worango Island back in the 17th Century with Tobias and cannot be contacted. Nothing can save Raphus unless Tolly returns. Second: Hendrik is finding it impossible to settle into life in the 21st century. When a stranger arrives from Worango and tells the children that Tobias is desperate for their help, they are suspicious. But Hendrik, on hearing his father is there, searching for him, agrees to return with the stranger and the others can't let him go alone. But nothing is as it seems on Worango. Who can they trust? Have all the pirates drowned, or are some still looking for the precious beans from the Medicine Tree? Where are Tobias and Tolly? Where is Hendrik's father? And where is the cloak which will take them safely home?
