by K. a. Mulenga (Author) 9-year-old Joe lives a long way from his school, so far away that he cannot walk there on his own. Every morning, his Mum drops him off at school and every afternoon, she collects him to take him safely home. But one afternoon, Joe's Mum doesn't arrive. Although he sits and waits patiently for her at school for a whole hour, still, she is nowhere to be seen. Joe is now the only child left at school and, besides being worried about his mother and why she hasn't arrived, something else is of great concern to him. What if he doesn't get home in time to watch his favourite TV show? After all, watching Star Fleet is without a doubt the favourite part of his day!
