Nev has done it! He's got his reward money, and he's heading back to Gran - he can hardly wait to see the look on her face! But things are NEVER that simple. Nev may have grown-up on his travels, but he's still a sucker for talking to strangers. Pity, because the first stranger he meets is a nasty old witch who steals his money and won't give it back until he agrees to be her slave. Somehow, Nev escapes her clutches and makes it back to his village. But when he finally reaches Gran's cottage, he's in for a big surprise . . .
