Summary, etc.:
Why does Skippy, a fourteen-year-old boy at Dublin's Seabrook College, end up dead on the floor of a doughnut shop? Could it have something to do with his friend Ruprecht Van Doren, an overweight genius who is determined to open a portal into a parallel universe using ten-dimensional string theory? Could it involve Carl, the teenage drug dealer and borderline psychotic who is Skippy's rival in love, or could the ruthless headmaster, intent on modernizing the school, have something to hide?
