Pestered by the bully Murrayand his pals, he is saved from the daily grind of school routine by his love of drawing, something that his sketch-filled notebook and the constant complaints of his teachers attest to. But there is a special secret that he can only entrust to his best friend, retriever Buddy. Yet there is something that beckons him even more than hisartwork, and his first, timid infatuation with his classmate Jane – that is the search for infinite treasures.

By a stroke fate, having been detained in the home of a strange elderly neighbor, Ray finds himself in the company of 17th century cutthroats and takes his place as the seventh and, as it so happens, missing member of a crew of pirates. On board of the schooner Celestine, Ray sets off on dangerous and captivating adventures across the seven, in no way resembling each other, distant worlds, in search of the seven glowing magical stones hidden there.
