Dolphin Luck

Dolphin Luck is a piece of pure escapism and moves at a pace fast enough to leave the reader without time to wonder at some of the bizarre events which occur in the seemingly rather ordinary Robinson family. When their mother falls ill and both parents have to go away on a sunshine holiday in the depths of winter, Beany and Sun Dance Stay with next door neighbour Mrs Brogan. Meanwhile their two older siblings are despatched to Yorkshire to stay with their unconventional Aunt Mabel, who turns out to be even more eccentric than anyone in the family realised. But is the really Mad Aunt Mabel? And what are Ant and Perry to do with her collection of animals, not to mention the parrot, when she unexpectedly vanishes? At home Sun Dance is sure a burglar will be unable to resist the allure of the Robinsons' empty house and is determined to catch him (or her), and Beany endeavours to track down the Viking dolphin sword which has the power to grant wishes. All ends happily for the members of the engaging family Robinson in the third book in a series about their antics and exploits.
