Martin's Merry Mishap

By Sharon Bowditch

Ten-year-old Leo dreams of being a famous travel blogger, but his biggest obstacle is Grandad Martin, a coach driver whose navigation skills are legendary for all the wrong reasons. When Grandad says, "Just five minutes, love," Leo knows that means a wild, winding journey through unexpected territory.

A school competition for the best travel blog entry offers Leo his golden opportunity. He plans to secretly document Grandad Martin's next coach trip to the seaside, hoping to capture every exciting, slightly wonky moment for his blog. Armed with a notepad and a tiny camera, he's ready to prove that even a trip with Martin can be an epic adventure.

The journey quickly spirals into a whirlwind of comic chaos, far more ridiculous than Leo ever imagined. From an accidental wrong destination to Martin's 'shortcuts' leading them through a farm and a village fete, Leo struggles to keep up, scribbling notes and snapping pictures amidst the mayhem of their quirky passengers.

Leo's biggest worry isn't just winning the competition; it's that Martin's mistakes might cost him his job. Can Leo capture the hilarious side of their journey while helping Grandad navigate the mess, or will this chaotic adventure be his last chance to shine?
