Waiting for himon the Woodslade corridor each time he is told to Do One, is the woodendesk from 'the old days' that every school seems to have lurking somewhere.He soon finds out that the scratches and carvings that cover the old woodare the initials of children who themselves had once sat at that desk andlike Joshua, had their problems.The Do One Desk tells the stories of these children and how their adventurestook place at the time of some the best known events of the last hundredyears. Bernard is under the desk during a World War Two bombing raid;Carnie is not allowed to sing in the choir for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation;Maggie makes a problem for herself at the World Cup Final in 1966; nonswimmer,Goggsie is so excited by the moon landing in 1969 that he findshimself volunteering for a gala and Nicky finds that even in modern times,not all problems for girl footballers were solved by the Lionesses.These stories can be read on their own or as part of Joshua’s journey as atemper tantrum leaves him high up on the school roof and about to findout some very surprising things about his ultra-strict foster carer, Margaret.
