It's time to send the animals rescued from the pirate circus home.

Uncle Mac sets sail with amazing Esme and her fearless cousins on a journey to hot and cold and distant lands - from Scotland to Siberia to Peru!

It's a voyage filled with excitement and danger. And dastardly pirates who will stop at nothing to recapture the animals.

This is the third of Tamara Macfarlane's Esme stories which are perfect for newly confident readers to read by themselves, or for parents to read aloud.

High in action and with plenty of humour, the stories are brought to life by Michael Fowkes' drawings on every double-page spread.
