A map opens onto a pirate-filled Disney adventure

Gemma’s family move to Orlando places her in unfamiliar surroundings, where a mysterious journal and its changing map offer a path into the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. The adventure combines a child’s difficulty adjusting to change with fantasy elements rooted in Walt Disney World: riddles appear on the map, and the ride’s animatronics behave strangely after hours. Gemma and her brother Torin must navigate a version of the attraction where the pirates are real. The setup links themes of change, family cooperation, and imaginative adventure within a recognizable theme-park setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 looking for a fantasy chapter-book adventure
  • Young readers interested in pirates, maps, riddles, or Disney Parks
  • Readers who enjoy stories about siblings facing a strange challenge together

Book overview

New York Times bestselling author of the Kingdom Keepers series is back with a Disney-inspired chapter book adventure!

Ten-year-old Gemma wishes everything could stay the same, but that's impossible after her mother accepts a new job at the Disney Parks in Orlando. Struggling to fit in and make friends, Gemma's focus is instead drawn to a weathered journal left behind in her mother's bookshop by a mysterious stranger. . . .

After Gemma discovers a hand-drawn map of Walt Disney World, riddles begin appearing across the page like magic! Even weirder are the problems her mother is facing at work: the animatronics on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride keep moving all on their own in the middle of the night.

With the help of her brother, Torin, Gemma discovers that the map can transport them onto the Pirates attraction. But there's something wrong--this version of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride has real live pirates! Will Gemma and Torin figure out a way to save the ride, or will they be forever trapped in the pirate stockades?
