After a series of unfortunate events, the kids find themselves inadvertently washed overboard –along with the last of the food supplies! On board a makeshift raft, they are soon joined by Jelly, a chatty, young jellyfish and the trio set sail towards their new fate. But when the raft is buffeted by a violent storm, Finny, Leah and Jelly are plunged into the depths of the ocean, and separated. Leah and Jelly are washed up onto a remote island. Finny wakes to find a strange colony of very familiar creatures all living in harmony –under the shadow of a belching volcano!

In a race against time, tide and the terrifying volcano, Finny must find his friends, reunite with his dad and save a whole colony from destruction, not to mention negotiating a peace deal on a creaking ark and teaching a cranky old-timer the meaning of ‘forgive and forget’.
