Illustrated by
Rob Shepperson.
When her scientist parents take off for the Shipwrecked Islands to study the elusive frangipani fruit fly, ten-year-old worrywart Lilly stays behind with her eccentric great-uncle. With her parents feared lost at sea, Lilly finds herself reluctantly joining forces with her lady-pirate neighbor to save them. Their ocean adventure, shown from many angles in humorous black-and-white illustrations, is action-packed and satisfying.
