Jess and the Ducklings

When Jess' mum loses her job, she also loses her fun-loving spark, staying in bed all day and leaving ten-year-old Jess to fend for herself. Even when Jess gets suspended for truancy and ends up on a placement at the Harvest Hope project, it isn't enough to get her mum's attention. Once at the farm, however, Jess is soon distracted from her worries at home when a fox attack leaves a family of ducklings orphaned and in need of a mum. Then one evening, when Jess' mum is late picking her up, things come to a head. When Rory and Kerry find out what has been happening they decide to come up with a plan - not just to help Jess but her mum too.
