Mr Bluebottle is bored. He used to be a brave sea captain, but now he's stuck on land, without any excitement in sight. He decides to return to sea. Roger, the parrot is keen, but Ben, his ten year old son, would rather stay home with his X-Box. He thinks his father is just dead boring. This is the story of a father and son, on the journey of a lifetime. Will Ben overcome his reluctance, or will the trials of ship life, huge storms and mean pirates overcome him? Will they find the treasure, and if they do, will they keep it safe?
