A powerful memoir about dealing with a diagnosis of autism in womanhood

¡Vacaciones en la playa! Pug sueña con largas siestas bajo la sombrilla y alguna que otra tartaleta de mermelada. Pero, como siempre con Lady Miranda, la tranquilidad dura poco. Primero un incidente con una pelota le obliga a llevar un parche en el ojo y Lady Miranda lo disfraza de pirata para que no se sienta ridiculo (con dudoso exito). Tras un segundo incidente con Rio, una lora, Pug debera ayudar a Lady Miranda y sus amigos a encontrar un tesoro en una isla. El problema es que a Pug le da miedo el agua y preferiria no tener que cruzar el mar. Sin proponerselo, Pug se convertira en el valiente protagonista de una aventura de pelicula.
