Troy is a boy living in a secret, locked-up world. His family think he is crazy, mad, nutty, barmy - all except his mother, who prefers to pretend there's nothing really wrong. However, even she has to take a bit of notice when policemen start knocking on doors and Troy gets excluded from school. It takes Mrs Shepherd the science teacher, and a chocolate bean competition, for those around him to realize that Troy's view of life may be odd - but it is, in its own way, brilliant.
