Description: Angus dreams of being bold, brave, wild and free. Like the pirate in the stories he tells his younger brother and sister. Instead Angus is just plain tired from changing nappies and wiping food off walls. His Mum calls him Mr Dependable, but Angus can barely cope. Another baby would be a disaster. So Angus comes up with a plan to stop his Mum getting pregnant. That's when he meets Rindi, and Angus thought he had problems! Suggested level: primary, intermediate, junior secondary.
