Plot
Sunny Blonde is a 17-year-old who has been spoiled by her rich parents. On a cruise with her parents who are celebrating their wedding anniversary, the ship is struck by lightning, and she is knocked overboard.[1]
She finds herself stranded on a beach of a remote “Forgotten Island” in the Caribbean Sea.[2] She is totally alone and worrying about her nails and messy make-up. To her surprise, her cell phone doesn't work anymore, and when she approaches a lonely boy sitting on a rock, she learns that he can't point her to the nearest hotel or fully furnished mall.[3] On the island, time seems to have stopped about two hundred years ago. When she starts to explore the island, she finds out that it is ruled by pirates and that it seems to be cursed as well.[4]
In this setting, Sunny has to get rid of her spoiled manners and, in time, she will discover what her real nature is. Everyone on the island, inhabitants, pirates and authorities, seem to have a secret agenda, and Sunny must learn to function on her own, because it will become her task to set things right on the island and to find a way back home.[3]
