Bunny Brown spends his afternoons turning the family yard into a bustling little market, complete with sand, shells, and a makeshift scale. His sister Sue jumps in, playing the role of a polite customer, while the two tease each other over who gets to be “Mr. Gordon” for the day. Their cheerful rivalry and vivid imagination set the stage for a series of lively escapades.
When a stray horse bolts from the backyard, the children’s game suddenly spirals into a real adventure that takes them onto the deck of the ship “Beacon.” As the vessel rolls across the open sea, Bunny and Sue must navigate new responsibilities, mysterious strangers, and the ever‑changing ocean. Their courage and teamwork promise plenty of excitement as the rolling waves carry them toward unknown shores.
