Joe All Alone

Joe is upset to learn that his mum and her horrible boyfriend Dean are going on holiday to Spain for a week, leaving Joe behind on his own. Relief comes when he meets Asha, who is also feeling abandoned. She's had a fight with her mum and has, run away to live with her grandad. After an attempt to fix the toilet, Joe discovers a package, left there by dodgy Dean. It's full of £20 notes, and it's got to be illegal!

Asha persuades Joe to go on a bus ride around London with her and Otis. For the first time in ages, Joe feels free. They have a fun day out and Joe decides it's time to tell Asha the truth - that his mum has been away all week but she's coming home soon. But when that day arrives, Joe's mum doesn't come home, and Joe starts to worry about her safety.
