There is a touch of the Lewis Carrolls to its authors enthusiastic and
uninhibited inventiveness Starburst

FERGUS CRANE! YOU ARE IN GREAT DANGER! I AM SENDING HELP. Signed T. C., your
long-lost Uncle Theo Fergus Crane has an almost ordinary life having lessons
taught by rather odd teachers on the school ship Betty Jeanne, helping his
mother in the bakery. But then a mysterious flying box appears at the window of
his waterfront home and Fergus is plunged headlong into an exciting
adventure! The box is followed by a winged mechanical horse that whisks him off
to meet his long-lost uncle and his penguin helpers, Finn, Bill and Jackson.
Fergus finds out that his teachers are not quite what they seem theyre
actually pirates! Can Fergus and his winged horse save his schoolmates from the
far-off Fire Island? And who else will he find there?
