"BETTER DROWNED THAN DUFFERS. IF NOT DUFFERS, WON'T DROWN" reads the telegram from their father that gives John, Susan, Titty and Rodger Walker permission to sail to Wild Cait Island and set up camp there. They encounter opposition from the crew of the Amazon, Nancy and Peggy Blackett, who want to claim the island as their own, but an alliance is formed and they band together to battle with savages and a suspected pirate as they try to recover the stolen treasure.This beautiful story of childhood freedom and adventure is set in vividly described landscapes and packed with useful information on sailing, camping and fishing. But how much of the drama is genuine and how much imagined? Are they ever in real danger?
