Chloe doesn't like school very much. She isn't as cool as the other kids. No iPhone, no DS and no friends. Then she meets Mr Stink - the local tramp. Yes, he smells a bit but he's the only person who's ever been nice to her and that includes her mother - an awful snob who wants to be the local MP and is trying to rid the streets of its homeless.
