Tiff is excited. She's nearly 18 and she knows, she just knows, she is going to get?a CAR! But will she? Brian, her dad, has been laid off and Clair, her mum, is working fit to bust every hour of the day. But the rubbish strike is over and the recycling centre is moving to Millbrook (it really is! ). Jack stays behind at the old depot under the Itchen Bridge with Kelloggs, who used to sport a mohican but is now losing more than just his hair... Strange, maybe magical things start happening. Is this what they call alchemy? Can these people change their lives? Time is so precious. Maggie Nevill writes with honesty, sassy humour and heartfelt tenderness, about being in and out of work in Britain today. And was it Banksy who painted the little girl with the balloon?
