Martin Moone is about to finish primary school and feels he hasn’t achieved very much. He’s desperate to get his picture on the school’s Winners' Wall and decides that entering the Invention Convention science competition will definitely earn him everlasting respect.

Martin’s imaginary friend, Sean, comes to the rescue, and together they concoct a plan to beat the snooty kids from the posh school in town.
