“Mole’s first day in ‘The Willows’. The kids look a bit rough.

“Surely Mr Badger will look out for her, while hip-hop cool girl Rattie, rich kid rapper Toad and street-dancing Otter teach her the ways of the Riverbank.

“But when Toad gets locked up for joyriding the Weasel Clan break in and squat his pad, the Pool Hall.

“It’s only a matter of time before Chief Weasel reveals Mole’s dark secret.”
