Summary

Amy is twelve years old, and has to look after her mother – who has just turned two. Sprocket is a runaway in search of his family – with only a faded photo to go on. Meanwhile, the seeds of a blue tea plant have been washed into the river system, and any moment now plants will grow that can keep people young forever. Nevertheless, Amy and Sprocket have each other. Together they try to bring up Toddler Mum as best they can, fight Pooper Scooper and his malevolent family, and put an end to every one of those mutating tea plants before they can destroy the world.
