|summary=Barney doesn't think being a Year Eight at Blue Hills High School is much fun, even though he's been there a whole fortnight. Joining a lunchtime club called Geek Inc. has to be better than facing the playground bullies, right? Well, yes it is — until the weird things start.

A boy wakes up in a grassy field and discovers that his trousers are on fire, though fortunately it doesn't hurt a bit. A lonely girl wonders why a fully functioning grandfather clock is standing on a patch of wasteland (she also wonders why it seems to move a few metres each day. Grandfather clocks aren't in the habit of wandering round the landscape). Even if you hadn't read the blurb you'd know already that this book is going to be full to the brim with fun, mysteries and oddities. Add to that a large, welcoming typescript and some very funny illustrations, and you have a book that both boys and girls will want to settle down and read.
