A strange, old-fashioned gentleman calling himself “Mr. Representative”, dressed in white from top to toe, and four children, Helen, Alexander, Stella and Antony, fly in an Old Banger back in time to the very special Dutch East India Academy, in old Batavia of 1900. But, on their very first night there, Jim Dream the Terrible and his gang burn the building, steal the priceless share certificates of the Academy, threaten to kill the four newcomers and - later - capture Mr. Representative, too!!!
On a daring quest to save Mr. Representative, the Eternal Forest and the Academy’s share certificates, the four children live through exciting and dangerous adventures in the humid jungles of Java and over the Indian Ocean, in the tropical jungles of India.
Will the children survive and meet all the challenges in the scary Valley of Silence? What secrets will be revealed? Will they eventually dare to confront the gang? And, what exactly is the role of … Mr. Jingles, the 100-year old myna bird?
