Boris Morris is completely bonkers. All his teachers know it. His classmates are so used to it that they ignore him. Even his parents are resigned to it. His only skill seems to be playing the class clown, whether pretending to be a garden gnome or acting like a cute little dog or an artist's model. When one day he learns that the school is to be honoured with a visit from the mayor, his whole attitude changes and he wants to be in the limelight. A previously unknown interest in football is awakened with hilarious results and even the local supermarket is not safe from the accident-prone would-be mayor's assistant. It is when, by chance, a hidden talent is discovered that the course of Boris's life might be about to change...
