“We returned it. Eventually. From a field. With a wheel missing and a duck in it.”
There is a beautiful, shiny shopping trolley just sitting there outside the Co-op. It would be a crime not to borrow it. We take turns pushing each other through the village at top speed, a glorious runaway train with a wonky wheel. But the journey takes an unexpected detour into a field. And we've picked up a passenger.

From the back cover
A shopping trolley is a terrible mode of transport. The wheels have a mind of their own and the brakes don't exist. Which is why it's the most fun you can have on a Tuesday afternoon. We 'borrow' one from the Co-op for a quick spin.
Our journey ends in a field, with a missing wheel, and a very cross duck.
And the grown-ups? Not a clue. As usual.
