In the Pacific Ocean, a group of 5 school children on a trip find themselves separated from the others and eventually trapped on an island and their boat wrecked. The children find that the Island is inhabited, but the people don't live the way of 20th Century people, rather they live to the ways, means and customs of people from the 18th Century.

The children find that the people are descended from a group of convicts that were sailing from Portsmouth to New Holland (Australia) 200 years ago. They have been completely shut off from the outside world ever since due to the remote location, the reef and magnetic band that surrounds the islands making them inaccessible for large ships. They are still dressing and living like their ancestors and know nothing of modern technology. They are ruled by one man the Q who they believe was on the original ship and claims to have discovered the secret of eternal life in a blue seaweed that grows on the neighboring island of Malo. Countries represented:
Mark was from England
Su Ying was from China
David was from America
Tony was from Australia
Anna was from Germany

Also Known As:
L'�le perdue (France)

Theme Song:
There once was a wealthy man who had a wonderful idea
To bring children from all places with all kinds of faces
Together into a sailing ship
There were 40 boys and girls
They would sail the ship around the globe
So they called it The United World

The ship was just three weeks from shore
When a hurricane poured down
The waves were big as mountains
They felt they would surely drown
They jumped into the lifeboats
And rowed away from the wreck
They didn't count them, they hadn't time
Five children were left behind

The children fought the storm all night then finally fell asleep
They didn't realize the ship had blown across the reef
Into the Lost Islands

Hiding in the bushes was a watchful pair of eyes
And living in the valley were people lost in time
Ruled over by a tyrant whose face was in a mask
The children must defeat him so they can escape at last
From the lost islands The lost islands

So Tony, Mark and David, Anna and Su Ying
Are left there on the island
Who knows what could begin?
Adventure lies before them
Danger lies behind
And as they go on searching
What new troubles... will they find? In the Pacific Ocean, a group of 5 school children on a trip find themselves separated from the others and eventually trapped on an island and their boat wrecked.
