Sinbad is back home in Perthepolis for Christmas, after her 7 long voyages, and just wants some peace, a pal, and a party to go to. Life is a little cramped on the houseboat she lives in with her bookish brother, Finn Lad, and her mother, the irrepressible Dame Jackie Alltrades – but their neighbours and friends, The Tayside Beavers, have just been given protected status, so that’s good news, eh? It’s certainly made Greta, a young, nature -loving visitor very happy – which sadly can’t be said of her bitter and twisted stepmother Vindicta. Should the Beavers be concerned? Will Sinbad’s Christmas in Tayland remain peaceful and contented? Or is this the start of an adventure which takes everyone across stormy waters to an island of mystery and intrigue? And what’s the story with Hector the Collector? Is it only your taxes he’s after, or is there more to him than meets the eye? All these questions will (probably) be answered later this year…
