The Tuckshop Kid

Hungry? Need Lunch? Mum's packed you curried banana and pickle sandwiches again? Only got a $1.25 to your name? Then you need to see Matt, because Matt has an amazing talent.

Some kids are good at footy, or handball, or tennis. Not Matt, though.

Matt is an expert at Tuckshop.

($1.25 = sausage roll and small choc milk, by the way ... )

In the dog-eat-pie world of the playground, when your best friend is the lunch lady, and hunger can be just around the corner, someone like Matt can go a long way.

But of course, being the best at anything does have its problems.

Even tuckshop.
