This is a story about an unlikely hero called James Sapphire who invents his own miniaturising machine to escape from the ferocious clutches of his teacher, Mr. Yikes, clutching his wooden birch during a time in England - before 1986 when corporal punishment was banned. James has, luckily avoided the end of the most ferocious master in the most notorious boarding school in all of England; that was until one Monday morning, he had inadvertently, left his towel behind in the school showers after having completed his ablutions.

So when his name appears on the list of boys that had been compiled by the most ferocious master, Mr. Yikes, to report to his study after school-classes, James Sapphire uses all his brain power and utilizes his most powerful laser-guns and other equipment to miniaturise himself to smaller than a tooth-pick.

A gripping and humourous science-fiction tale adventure.
