Keeping ahead of the podcasters, Herbie and Violet set sail for the dangerous "Treasure Island," where villain Sebastian Eel's own sister mysteriously vanished years ago. Will they discover the heart of Eerie-on-Sea's mysteries, or will Herbie and Violet be the next to disappear?

  Presented here are three of the most popular children's books of all time: L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz," Kenneth Grahame's "The Reluctant Dragon" and Edith Nesbit's "Five Children and It."  First, one of the great classics of children's literature, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," which tells the story of young Dorothy, who is caught up in a cyclone and transported to the magical kingdom of Oz. In order to return home, Dorothy is instructed to travel to the City of Emeralds and ask the Wizard who rules there for his help in getting back to Kansas. Along the way, Dorothy befriends a strange group of traveling companions - a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodsman and a cowardly Lion - who are all in need of the Wizard's assistance. Thus begins this magical and wonderful journey into a world of unmatched imagination and creativity; a work that inspired no less than thirteen sequels and innumerable film, stage and television adaptations.  Then, the magical tale of an unlikely friendship between a boy and a dragon, Kenneth Grahame's beautiful and hilarious "The Reluctant Dragon." The main character, known only as "The Boy," discovers a friendly dragon living outside his small village. When the townspeople recruit St. George himself to slay the monster, the Boy to attempts to intervene and try to save his friend. It is a sweet, uplifting fable of love and friendship for children of all ages.

The rest of the story concerns the various wishes each of the children requests...and how terribly they go wrong.
