Children's fiction

Shane has wanted a mobile phone for as long as he can remember - but not like Mo! He pictured a phone he could whip out like a policeman radioing for back up.. But Mo has to be clamped between cushions to keep her quiet. Mo answers back, sings opera, gets lonely, orders him about - and worst of all, she doesn't have an off-switch.
