'What do you all come here for?’
‘Why, to change the world, of course! Don’t we all want to change the world . . . if we can?’
A General Election is coming and the Revolutionaries are gathering at Natalie’s house. She’s determined to be a part of it all, but is it really just about red coats, muddy boots and piles of glossy leaflets? Surely changing the world should be more exciting than that?
It’s time to start her OWN revolution – and it all begins with her pet rat . . .
