The Queen of the Winds is setting sail again, and this journey may well be more full of peril and adventure than all the trips the proud ship has made so far. Rumini and his shipmates set out for the warm waters of the Claret Sea, but they find themselves caught up in a frightful war in which the creatures of the jungle are fighting for survival. The fearless buffins, old friends of Rumini’s pal Jake Polaris, are struggling to help the good bats of Persimmon shore and the unjustly exiled heir to the throne save the land from utter destruction, and the crew of the Queen of the Winds joins them in their fight. They must brave attacks by bloodthirsty bats and vicious sharks in their struggle to save Persimmon Shore from a dim-witted silk monkey king and, worse, a dangerous sorcerer. And as if that weren’t trouble enough, only a few days after they have set sail, marauding pirates steal the Queen of the Winds and leave the crew huddling together on a crowded lifeboat in the middle of the sea.
