Summary: It all begins with a shoe. Just one. In the middle of the road. Who loses one shoe? A one-legged preson obviously. And who has only one leg? A pirate, of course. So that's how Jack gets an inkling that there are pirates about. Then there's this bear. It appears on the roadway and halts the traffic, including the school bus. All the drivers are cowering in their cars, but Jack gets out to investigate and manages to overcome the bear by brandishing a chair at it. There's a good reason why bears are afraid of chairs, but there's no time to explain right now. Because the next thing is that Jack gets recruited into the Ministry of SUITs - Strange, Unusual and Impossible Things. Before long, he's on a mission - to save his best friend David. Jack knowns David is going to need saving because all the odd kids are going missing, and David is the oddest kid in the class.
