A brilliantly funny fantasy adventure.
Edwin Spencer is the odd one out in his family. While his sisters and brother are high achievers (if decidedly uncool), he struggles at school and is happiest playing football with his mate, Nat. Then the general boredom and misery of school is interrupted by a series of bizarre events. Edwin starts to hear strange voices, and his science teacher of all people, tells him that King Janus of Hysteria needs his help. As Edwin doubts his sanity, a whirling vortex appears in his bathroom! Before he knows it, he's been swept into a parallel world – a world where they really need his help. If only Perpetua Allbright, the school swot, wasn't there with him…
