Paddy McCann is a fourteen-year-old boy who can't ride a bike or a skateboard; he has never eaten a hamburger and has no idea what a lipstick or a clotheshorse is. But that's because Paddy is a boy living in the third millennium.
In this humorous futuristic tale, the irrepressible Paddy is in Year 8 at Cossel College Second School. Life at school isn't easy. Unfortunately, due to a series of mishaps, Paddy has a reputation as a troublemaker; and his teacher Big Black Jack, who has a temper like a misfired rocket, has it in for him. Paddy seems to be an accident waiting to happen. His mission in 3005 AD is to get through life without losing the plot, or anything else, but can he succeed?
This year Paddy has the opportunity to study history using Actual Research; however, when he finally visits the 21st century, the challenge to experience the past without changing the future proves to be too much for him. Paddy's propensity for pandemonium repeatedly lands him in trouble but also inadvertently makes him a hero of his time.
