Marty is desperate for friends, having left his behind when he moved into 10 Downing Street with his mum. Bored and lonely, his life suddenly becomes a lot more exciting when he sneaks out of a secret passage and meets Jumi, a young eco protester. He agrees to help her in her fight to stop a new airport from destroying an ancient woodland. But being an eco warrior isn't as easy as he thinks. Featuring a mum who just happens to be the Prime Minister, a very nosy sister, a gorilla-wrestling security guard and the creepiest politician in the world, Eco Worrier sees a bored and lonely boy take on a sinister plot and his own fears in this hilarious book from debut novelist Ian Slatter.
