Sick and tired of the rain and thunder on Euphoria, Alex, Violet, Kate and Kristian all decide to go on holiday to a new island called Harmony. Harmony is home to hundreds of flamingos and they LOVE following rules! Alex just wants to go for a swim but the flamingos won't let him. Eventually, he snaps!
Some new birds arrive on Euphoria but none of them speak the same language is everyone else. It's up to Alex to find a way to communicate with them!
Violet has invited Alex to the fancy parrot ball on Euphoria Island but Alex has no idea how to be fancy! Worried he won't be able to fit in and it'll ruin everything for Violet, Alex goes to Kate and Kristian for help. Luckily, Kristian knows all about how to be fancy and can't wait to teach Alex. But with the ball tonight, is there enough time?
The teacher on Euphoria Island is sick so Kate agrees to fill in -- the only problem is she doesn't know what to each! That's why she asks Alex to come to class and give a talk to the children -- but Alex is worried that he isn't clever enough to teach. That's why he goes to the library and takes out all the books he can find -- nothing can go wrong if he just sticks to what's in the books when he's teaching class, can it?
To escape a hot day, Alex goes to explore the shade in the jungle, but once he's there, he stumbles over an abandoned egg! He brings it home to keep it safe. Violet used to look after her nieces and nephews when they were just eggs so she agrees to teach Alex how to care for it. But soon Alex has had enough of washing the egg and sitting on it to keep it warm. He wants to find a way to make the thing hatch!
The Captain is thrilled to have Lisa, Noah and Ava aboard his ship because now he finally has someone who can help him retrieve the sunken treasure chest hiding in the shipwreck below them. He even has an amazing submarine they can use. There's only one problem... sharks! And lots of them.
Noah loves the stories Lisa writes about their adventures except for one thing... they're not spooky enough! Or at least that was the case before an abandoned ghost ship drifts across paths with the gang. It's up to them to explore it and solve the mystery of where the ship came from!
Lisa wants to prove her worth aboard her new pirate ship home. Captain Noah knows how to sail the boat, Ava knows how to navigate, but what can Lisa do? She decides to go fishing so that they have fresh fish to eat for dinner, but it doesn't take long for Lisa to catch more than she bargained for...
Lisa always wanted to go on an adventure and now that Captain Noah has set sail, forgetting she's on board his pirate ship, she's getting to go on one. Noah's parrot has discovered a strange new island and Noah knows it holds some sort of secret. They just need to find out what that secret is...
Ten-year-old Lisa lives with her parents in a busy city. She wishes her parents were more adventurous, but her mother is always watching television and her father works on his laptop day and night. One day, a carnival arrives in the city and, amid the hustle and bustle, Lisa meets a dog, Goldie, who leads her to a pirate ship owned by Captain Noah. Next thing she knows, she's heading out to sea. Will her longing for adventure finally come true?

One day there was a twelve year old boy called Klaas Van Bommel. He had a very healthy appetite and never seemed to be able to eat enough. This young boy was a farmer’s child, and at every meal there was cheese, which he really enjoyed but it just wasn’t available in thick enough slices for his liking. On one summer evening, Klaas was crying as he went to bed after being scolded by his mother. He thought he saw lights darting about in the forest; one light moved closer and he thought he heard a whisper in his ear 'Come with us. There is plenty of cheese.'
Will Klaas follow the voice and look for more cheese?
