That is, until his life is turned around when he receives an invitation from his favourite teacher to enter the hidden Thomon world and join Belbury Academy. Here he is not perceived as a school failure but a highly gifted individual. William embraces this thrilling and advanced world, where he learns to use an object-altering, imagination controlled device called a Hadron-Tool. However this exciting adventure soon turns dangerous when he uncovers a plot by Krevak Ragwort to control world-altering technology, and must be stopped at all costs.
