Kofi and the Secret Radio Station

His whole world was the sound of the speakers, the records, and the fun he was having in this place that he never even knew existed. He looked up as he came to the end of the verse and Linton was giving him the thumbs up. Kofi's grin stretched from ear to ear. Kofi has discovered a secret radio station - in a place no one will ever look. It doesn't take him long to think he can make something out of it. He and Shanice get a load of kids interested in taking part and having their moment on Clipper FM . . . But when the radio station vanishes overnight and one of Kofi's friends is accused of stealing, then the whole beautiful plan starts to fall apart . . . Can Kofi and his best mate Kelvin unravel the mystery, stay out of trouble and do their homework - all without mum and dad spotting anything - before teatime?
