Chapter Three

So now what?

By the time they got back to Tom’s house

they were feeling very glum. Mum had

heard from Gran – she had phoned her and

told her what had happened.

“What you children need is some

cheering up,” said Mum. “How about some

mugs of hot chocolate for everyone?”

“Oh yes please!” said Lucy. She and Tom

fetched five mugs from the cupboard, while

Tom’s Mum got out the milk and hot

chocolate powder.

“If the home closes then Gran will come

and live with us until she finds somewhere

else,” said Mum.
