10-year old Ryan Burgh finds a mysterious invitation near his mailbox, containing a list of directions that lead to an equally mysterious place. From there, he accidentally finds himself as a stowaway on a pirate ship run by a captain who's also a red penguin, sailing off to an island inhabited by penguins called Club Penguin Island. Joined later on by his best friends Allison, Chase, Maya, Sammy J., and Freezer, they form a star group as they waddle around, meet new friends, and navigate and solve problems around the island!
