Jinxem Gets Trapped In A Ship In A Bottle

The story

Jinxem is a witty bookworm who always says what you're about to say and then shouts "Jinx!" Cleaning up a beach with Ithinka on World Ocean Day, he grabs a glowing bottle sticking out of the sand and gets sucked inside.

He lands on a tiny ship inside a bottle with a tiny pirate named Roscoe, who has drifted the oceans for a hundred years under a parrot's spell, and the sea outside has just turned red.

The real place: The Red Sea

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

1. 1The Red Sea lies between Africa and Asia and connects to the Indian Ocean, just like Roscoe says.
2. 2The Red Sea is one of the saltiest seas in the world.
3. 3Its warm waters have colorful coral reefs that are home to many kinds of fish.
