Beyond the map's edge, Dakota finds an island that doesn't appear on any chart. The ancient lock bears an inscription: "For the one whose name means Friend."

Dakota doesn't just happen to be in a pirate adventures story—her name and traits are why the adventure works. That narrative logic is something children sense, even before they can articulate it.
