Joss doesn't always like her little brother Pin, because he's a nuisance and he copies everything she does. When Joss starts collecting the fifty baked bean labels she needs to get a special gift, Pin does the same. The problem is that now they will have to collect twice as many labels - and eat one hundred tins of beans! From the author of "On the Lion's Side" and "Our Kid", both of which were shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. Ann Pilling also wrote "Henry's Leg", which won the 1986 Guardian Children's Fiction Award. Derek Matthews' illustrations have appeared in the "Teddy Bear Songbook".
