Noah is pretty happy at school - he's in a friendly class, he's got a best mate, Jack, and he's one of the youngest to be picked for the school football team.  Then a broken leg keeps him off school for several weeks and on his return there's been a mysterious change of atmosphere.  <br/>
<br/>
A new boy, Basil, has joined the class and everyone is fascinated by him.  The only person who seems to be immune to Basil's charms is class-joke, Bertie, known as Pigface.  Try as he might, Noah just can't slip back into his normal place - it seems to have been usurped by Basil.  His only choice of partner in class, at lunch, in Games and at break is Pigface.  <br/>
<br/>
Forced to sample life as an outsider, Noah has a choice - make a desperate effort to get back into the 'inner circle' or get to see life from Pigface's alternative viewpoint.
