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 - they're actually pirates. Can Fergus and his winged horse save his schoolmates from the far-off Fire Island. And who else will he find there..
