Pleskit's new in school. He's also purple, bald and has a single stalk growing out of the top of his head! It's going to be an interesting first term . . .
Pleskit's grandpa died before he was born. But his dad still has his brain - he keeps it in a jar in his office and asks it for advice at regular intervals. Pleskit decides it's the perfect thing to take into class for show and tell. But somehow the brain gets mislaid at school, and unless Pleskit tracks it down fast, it doesn't look like Grandpa will ever find his way home . . .
