Synopsis
Looks can be deceiving – as Laurella Swift discovers when a delicate china pot sends the 10-year-old hurtling headlong into her third adventure back in time.
It transports the London schoolgirl onto an ocean liner bound for Batavia in 1930, where she befriends 7-year-old passenger Elsie and Bintang, the ship’s Bell Boy.
Laurella is determined to unravel the mystery surrounding a surly, solitary traveller – who the children nickname: The Bluebottle. But when Laurella and her friends delve deeper, she makes a horrifying discovery.
