Notes
Eleven-year-old Lucas has now got a new worry to add to his long, long list his rural school is on the Ministry of Educations list for closure. Whats his mum going to do if he and his sister have to start travelling to a school an hour or two away? She cant drive them; she certainly cant afford boarding school fees and already works long hours in a poultry processing plant to keep the family going. If the school closure goes through, they might have to up sticks and leave. And theres no way Lucas is ever going to leave his dads grave behind. He and a group of friends come up with a very quirky plot to revive their town and save their school and the chaotic chain of events to follow are entirely unpredictable (and hilarious).
