Those Kids Series

When Jake succeeds in persuading his family to embark on a sailing-camping holiday on a

Tasmanian island, he is mostly interested in pirate fantasies and his home-built Optimist

 dinghy.  But he does not plan on the events which are to leave him alone with his brother

 and sister. The children’s idealistic notions are challenged by several less-than-friendly

 visitors who introduce some serious concerns. Ultimately, after being forced to dig deep

 into their personal reserves, the treasures they all gain from their experiences are rather

 different from the ones Jake has set out to find.
