Joe had never been the sort of person who would do unexpected things, but this had really been a day he would never forget. Joe's hands and feet had suddenly turned black, and grew thousands of hairs, and then they grew claws. He felt amazingly strong and, all of a sudden, very awake. All of his senses were incredibly alive. Then, he felt his whole body shrinking, shrinking, shrinking. Suddenly, he was the size of a fly. And the world around him was just as suddenly gigantic. What? Look at this! He was immediately able to fly, as though he'd always been able to do it. Joe's wings were beating 200 times a second and he was zooming through the air like a fighter plane. The S. W. A. T Team had chosen him for an extraordinary operation that 'required intelligence and stamina normally beyond the human range.' Meanwhile, in Bumstead, U. S. A., the 'Garbage Disposal Squad' were getting ready to take him out. Best-selling Australian-British author Kathy Lette says: 'It's a wonderful story - funny, surprising, life-affirming, quirky and original.'
