The arrival of a crate of pineapples and an odd pet at the Hollister home in Shoreham is the first of many unusual events in this new and exciting adventure.
The sender of the pineapples--Mrs.
Villamil--is a girlhood friend of Mrs.
Hollister's and now lives in Puerto Rico with her Spanish husband, their son Carlos, and daughter Maya.
The Villamils invite the Hollisters to their home at Lizard Cove for the children's winter vacation.
The trip turns out to be more than just a sight-seeing tour .
