'A boy sits in assembly, daydreaming, while the headmaster drones on about school standards and discipline and littering and whatnot. Young Le Fevre daydreams about the school librarian who, like so many of her ilk, would rather keep all the books and tapes neatly stacked away than hand them out to messy students, and about his family and about his splendid invention which turns your mind off while you continue to look attentive. Here indeed is a schoolboy's dream.'
