About the story
What happens
Ned Holmes is certain the boys can organise a paw-paw expedition without help from the girls. The mountain, an empty dinner basket and a very hungry party soon test that confidence.
With lively young voices and warm comic timing, this brisk adventure turns a school holiday outing into a lesson Ned would prefer not to admit he learned.
