Description
The past comes magically to life for a pair of long-suffering orphans in this entertaining tale! The School for Forgotten Orphans is spending its holiday in a cottage by the sea. Joe and his sister Doris don't fit in with the other children, who either like fighting or playing with dolls, and so are an easy target for their teacher, horrible Mr Barge. But when he orders them to stay behind and clear up while the others go out, Joe and Doris discover the Magic Boathouse - and get some amazing help from the past!
