markhan Perralt. Brilliant, Eccentric. He graduats from high school at age fourteen, voted by his friends to become the greatest computer geek in history. Instead he becomes a fix-it man, until he is prodded by his tenth high school reuion to prove himself. Suddenly he reappears as the rising star of a computer firm. Gone are his yellow tennis shes, held together by red dental floss. gone are his blue jeans and wire-rim glasses, preplaced by business shoes, business suits and contact lenses. But he grieves for his lost boyhood, where daydraming and pretending and crafting things with his hands filled his days. When his bosses force him to move ut of his beloved cottage at the edge of Old Willingham Park for something more upscale, he buys an oddly unconvential house with a tree growing through the wide porch. And when it turns out that a flood of obscure toy catalogs pour through the mil slot on a daily basis, he can't resist ordering just a few toys, choosing to ignore the declarations of no refunds, no returns. Too late, after his orders arrive and aren't exactly toys, he remembers the old warning: Let the buyer beware!
