Oluwalase Babatunde Benson is No. 1. He's the No. 1 car spotter in his village – probably the No. 1 car spotter in the world!

This is the second book in this series about the irresistible No. 1, whose hobby is car spotting but who is also good at solving all sorts of problems for his village. What happens when the new modern house Mama Coca-cola thought she wanted turns out not to be the house she wants after all? Or when one of the children from outside the village slips and breaks his leg during the local world cup series? What happens when car parts are stolen from Wale's garage and no one can figure out who's taken them, or when the river floods the road and a wedding party can't get across? Who comes to the rescue each and every time? Why, it's No. 1, of course!
