This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Martin is at St Steven's Secondary School. He often dreams of being like one of the 'cool' guys in his year. They are good at sports and always get the attention of the girls. He believes the only way that he could ever be like them and get all the attention is to be good at sports. One day he goes to a trip-out for the football team, however, this ends up in disappointment for him. He is not chosen and so feels useless. On his way home from school he spots a pair of red framed glasses in the overgrown grass. He picks them up and tries them on. To his astonishment the lenses of the glasses start to show in video like images, Martin's desires coming true. Not long after this however, he realises that one has to be careful what they wish for.
