James knows all about stranger danger. But surely his own mother doesn't count - even if he has never met her before. So when Julia turns up out of the blue to take him on holiday, he goes along with her. But he soon starts to realize her behaviour is strange and erratic. First she whisks him off to France, along with Beth, a girl they've only just met. Then she starts skipping out of hotels without paying, making friends with English tourists and bamboozling them into paying for things for her, writing cheque that she knows are sure to bounce...James is desperate to get back home, but can he really just walk away? Julia is his mother, after all...
