Janie's mother just doesn't seem to be trying these days.
It's been macaroni cheese for dinner 3 times in a week and Janie's older brother, Sean, makes the mistake of complaining. Mum loses it. She's been stressed out ever since Dad went 'Up North'.
In protest Janie says she could do better and her mother takes up the offer, with dramatic consequences...
Blend of dollop of honesty, a dash of family dynamics and a sprinkle of resourcefulness and this piquant mix will tickle the tastebuds of 9-year-olds plus.
