Paul tries to help her find out about her real mother and become reconciled with Auntie Vickie. But the young squatters face eviction and unwelcome attention from those opposed to asylum-seekers. Soon Amina is running again, even though she doesn't know where to run to. All she can cling to is her love of song and her hope that somewhere she will belong.

Because he’s different he gets teased too but he’s befriended by Tim who tries to protect him. When Mark’s glove puppet vanishes, Mark doesn’t come to school.
