But the wind picks up and WHOOOOSH they are blown away to an exotic island! They explore for a bit, and even meet a parrot, but there are no sign of any ships to get them home.

Jack and Nancy always wanted to go on an adventure but then they unexpectedly get blown away to one! A beautiful new reissue of one of Quentin Blake's first picture books.
