This is a wonderfully funny book with a serious message, cleverly dealing with the topic of mental health at an age appropriate level.

Lucy devises the plan to become a record breaker herself in order to get on the show, meet the host and hopefully re-unite him with her mum, restoring happiness.
With the help of her friend, Sandesh, the journey that ensues is a brilliant series of mishaps until they finally get their break.
With days to spare, they send in their entry and head off to London on a wonderful journey.
