Sweets from Morocco by Jo Verity
Tessa and Lewis are a bit unnerved by the imminent appearance of a baby sibling. When the somewhat wrinkled Gordon arrives to disrupt their perfect childhood, they decide that something must be done. Secretly they construct an effigy and transport it away from the house, across the forbidden highway to the phone box around the corner. They don't wish Gordon dead, just gone. To their great surprise go he does - from his pram parked outside the paper shop when their father pops in for cigarettes.In the space of minutes the family's lives are turned upside down forever.
