Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isnt easy to make friends when youre the only inflatable boy in town. . . .

Francis is unhappy. Francis was human once, but that was then. Now hes an eight-foot-tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .
