This book is about
Cal and his sister, Annie, have moved house and are starting a new school.
Cal tells Annie not to tell anyone their secret, but she tells the frog-wellie boy (her new friend) and he tells the others in the school.
Cal's classmates make fun of him (making him sad), because Annie said that her Dad is a pirate. Annie's friends are impressed with this.
