2 shillings and sixpence can buy an African child three square meals a day. The 14 years old narrator wants to fight injustice in the world. Part-time work does not bring in enough money, so he resorts to Robin Hood methods: steals valuables, misuses his father’s credit card, etc. Together with his girl friend he steals a huge refrigerator van, full of food, which he drives through Europe on their way to Africa.
A story about justice, humanity, love and brotherhood
