Description
Pete was going on the road for a whole month. No ties, no responsibilites, no stupid school, and no Ma fussing round him. Four weeks of complete freedom to do just as he liked - or so he thought. In the gloom of the derelict house where he's dossing down for the night, he trips over something. Something that whimpers and moves beneath his feet. A nine-year-old kid - and on the run at that! Pete is furious next morning when he discovers the runaway is a girl. Yet there is something about Jacky which tugs at him, and when he hears her unhappy story, he decides he must help her get back to her foster parents in Cornwall. But she would have to come with him to the Glastonbury Pop Festival first; he wasn't going to miss that. This is a tense, compelling story of Pete's week on the road with Jacky and the nightmare of their journey as, posing as brothers, they dodge the polcie and the curious questions of the people they meet on the way.
