You are Marlow Finch, expecting an afternoon of carrying chairs and finding yourself responsible for three children instead. Ivy, Win and Arthur have a ring of lost keys, a card of good turns to fill, and rather different ideas about being helpful. Follow clues through an English market town, talk to people in your own words, and decide when to give directions and when to let a child take the lead. A small kindness can become quite an undertaking, especially when everyone means well. The afternoon moves on as you act, and you promised to have the children back by six.
- Three children with plans of their own.
- Lost keys, small mysteries and dry humour.
- Give directions, delegate errands or put a mistake right.
