Synopsis
No. 1 is always full of good ideas. He figures out what to do when a leopard is bothering the goats and when Mama Coca-Cola has problems with her house. But what will it take to make the fabulous Firebird stop in the village?

From Booklist
As in The No. 1 Car Spotter (2011), Nigerian-born Atinuke’s slim, small chapter book blends farce and realism in a story about a contemporary kid who both makes mistakes and saves the day in his small Nigerian village. No. 1 does make a mess with his friend Coca Cola when they wet cement powder and get stuck. But even with all the silliness, the book’s traditional community values and customs are strong and sometimes better than modern alternatives: a grass roof is much cooler than the spiffy new tin kind, for example. When a flood strands some fancy tourists with their limousines and cell phones, No. 1 works out how to help them across the river. Illustrated with spare line drawings, the innocent kid’s first-person narrative will hold readers with the boy’s fun mishaps and his triumph. Grades 2-5, --Hazel Rochman
