The No.1 Car Spotter and the Broken Road

by Atinuke

The road through No. 1’s village is full of holes—no cars pass by, and Mama Coca-Cola’s café has no customers. Even her efforts to fix the road lead nowhere. But Grandfather believes in No. 1: “You have a No. 1 brain. Use it!”

From solving a transport problem on Cousin Homework’s wedding day to returning from market with two goats instead of one, No. 1 is full of clever ideas. And soon, he comes up with a plan that just might get the road fixed for good.
