A female “Balboa” children’s carer … and boy does she take a battering! Nanny McPhee with the heart of “Rocky”.

In the town of Sour End, sozzled selfish parents party the nights away. Children are thrust into the claws of the Social Scare – who are nothing more than a dastardly dirty gang called The Shirkers pretending to be Prrrufffessional. They are a frightful bully bunch who get up to all sorts of mischief and mayhem.

Two young brothers, Lazer and Mookel are taken into care, and by chance, end up living with Mable Strong, a feisty foster carer and her daughter Florence. The boys quickly start to blossom and shine in their new home but not for long as the Shirkers and their villainous gang set about to kidnap them.

With the help of her magical friends Sparkles the Fairy, William Wizard, Chinara the Panther, Marcia Monkey and Mumbles the Mouse, Mable has a secret plan to stay ahead of the gang. The fate of Lazer and Mookel hangs in the balance...but if Mable can manage to find the truth, the people of Sour End might be saved from the Social Scare forever.
