Take Me to Your LeaderTake Me to Your Leader

"Eleven-year-old Lucas has got a new worry to add to his long, long list - his rural school is on the Ministry of Education's list for closure. What's his mum going to do if he and his sister have to start travelling to a school an hour or two away? She can't drive them; she certainly can't afford boarding school fees and already works long hours in a poultry processing plant to keep the family going. If the school closure goes through, they might have to move to the city. And there's no way Lucas will ever leave his dad's grave behind. He and his friends come up with a mad idea to revive their town and save their school --they stage an alien encounter. Before they know it, tourists are flocking in to check out the crop circles and it looks like the plan might working. But there's also the vehicle with tinted windows that seems to be following them around - why would it be interested in a group of country schoolkids? Before Lucas knows it, he's lost control of his plot, and a chain of unpredictable (and often hilarious) events that follow are quickly turning to chaos!"--Publisher information.
