Martin Moone is eleven years old and fed up with being the only boy in a family of girls. With three older sisters, he's desperate for a sidekick to help him fight his corner. When best mate, Padraic, suggests getting an imaginary friend, he decides to give it a go.

His first attempt is Loopy Lou, a hyperactive goofball who writes rubbish rap songs. But Martin soon gets fed up with Lou's clowning around, so selects Sean 'Caution' Murphy instead. Sean is much more up Martin's street – and full of advice about how Martin should negotiate day-to-day life, from dealing with his sisters' pranks to beating the bullying Bonner Boys.

But getting rid of Lou is not that easy, and TWO imaginary friends is a recipe for trouble!
