and the school is staging a performance of a play about the Gunpowder Plot. The
children are searching through the costume box when Jacob finds a hat which he
decides to wear for his part as King James. However, the hat has unexpected
properties and when Jacob's Granny borrows it, all sorts of strange things
happen and disaster is narrowly averted. What is so special about that hat? Is Granny out of control? Will history be changed so that King James is finally blown into pieces? |
