Daniel is known as Weirdo because he enjoys doing things at school that others think strange: working out mathematical calculations and formulas for everything, doing his homework and being on his own. Tosh couldn't be more different: hanging around with his 'friends' who use him as a butt of their jokes and picking on others, such as Daniel. So when they find themselves sharing lodgings on an Outward Bound weekend neither is too happy. Then they fall into a cave whilst out orienteering and the teacher with them is knocked unconscious. Before they know it, water is pouring in on top of them! Faced with the prospect of drowning, Daniel and Tosh are forced to forget their differences, even for a short time and work together to save themselves and their teacher.
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
Michael claims that English was his worst subject at school; his burning ambition was to become a footballer but his dreams were never realised and he went on to study Maths and Computer Science at university.
Humour is at the heart of everything that Michael does: he sees it as the 'antidote' to his very technical and non-creative career. Michael's first book was excitingly entitled Disk Programming Techniques for the BBC Microcomputer, and finding that he enjoyed writing the jokes more than the rest, Michael decided to try leaving out the computer bits. In 1993 Michael decided to concentrate full-time on his writing (apart from when he's day-dreaming about football).
In 1997 Michael's novel for older children Weirdo's War was shortlisted for the Carnegie Children's Book Award, the Lancashire Children's Book Award and the Writers Guild Award.
