About the Author

Chapter One

Buggy was a VW (Volkswagen) Beetle Car, one of the new designs, painted shiny green with a silver-and-white stripe down each side. Buggy had two drivers. He was bought by Mrs. Scrag but was mostly driven around by her son, Kyle. Kyle always took Buggy to the beachfront and parked him there in the hot sun where he could hear the waves rhythmically washing the sand. He had roof racks to carry Kyle’s surfboard to the beach.

Sometimes, after much arguing with her son, Mrs. Scrag managed to get to drive Buggy to the shops. In the evenings, Kyle would take him to his night-time job where he worked as a waiter. Buggy enjoyed that because he got to know the other cars parked in the shopping mall. He watched the people walking in and out of the shopping center and wondered what they did and what they were like.

He felt a little lonely sometimes in his silent world. He wished he was human. He also didn’t really enjoy the way Kyle drove him. Sometimes Kyle was drunk and drove recklessly, pulling hard on the gear lever, pushing hard on the accelerator, and yanking the steering wheel. Buggy felt pushed to capacity during these times. He concentrated so hard on keeping on the road so he wouldn’t crash. He also hated the loud music that Kyle played on his CD player. It rumbled through his engine and gave him an aching radiator. But he put up with it as best he could because he loved Mrs. Scrag and wanted to keep her son safe.

I’ve arranged for Donald to bring you home from work. And you can have the whole house to yourself, Kyle, Buggy heard Mrs. Scrag say one evening in a clear, direct voice.

But how am I going to get to the beach without Buggy?

You’ll just have to catch a bus.

I hate buses. Why do you have to take him?

Kyle, Buggy is my car and you’re privileged to drive him. You can do without him for two weeks. Mrs Scrag’s sounded impatient.

But, Mom, the surfing final is coming up.

It’s still two months away.

Mom, Kyle pleaded.

No, and that’s final.

Buggy heard a door slam. His mind raced. Why couldn’t Kyle drive him for two weeks? Was he going to the mechanic? Was Mrs. Scrag using him for something? He longed to know.

He was woken early the next day with the light being switched on in the garage. Mrs. Scrag came through with two large suitcases and a basket. She packed the suitcases in Buggy’s trunk
