Anjali has a problem. Well actually, she has two:
1) A very mean teacher called Mr Shutgun (don’t even dare to make fun of his name) picks on her.
2) The problem she’s been trying to keep secret comes out during the world’s worst maths lesson.
Then lockdown happens and everything JUST. GETS. WORSE. Her problems get even bigger and seem HUGE! Like, AVALANCHE HUGE!!
Will diving into an adventure of making lip balms and setting up her own business with her very chaotic mum help solve her problems? Or meeting the mysterious Mrs Marston, an old lady with secrets of her own…?
