Synopsis

Malcolm is in all ways an ordinary boy. This is a perfectly ordinary story featuring one perfectly ordinary ten-year-old., his very bossy uncle, some baked beans, a school which tries to make interesting things BORING, the famed Italian city of Ponky, and a genie who appears when you rub your nose. It also includes lots of very useful facts - many of which are untrue. . .
