Synopsis

This book tells the story of the sinister, mysterious ""professor"" of the circus, who has alway been playing with witchcraft and who calls little Tom to his bed while he is dying and insists on imparting what he has learned about witchcraft throughout his whole life to little Tom, who has always been at odds with him in daily life. The witchcraft of the ""professor"" can help little Tom to realize his dream to transfer his own soul into a tall and strong body by the trick of exchanging bodies of the two persons. In this way, little Tom can get rid of the trouble of being so small and being laughed at by others.

“You are wondering,” said the Professor, “why I have sent for you.” His voice was very low and Little Tom had to put his ear close to the evil-smelling lips. “In your mind,” said the Professor, “you are turning over the reasons for this. I must put you at ease, for I have always respected you.”

Little Tom was startled.

“Yes,” said the Professor, “I have seen much to admire in you. On the lot about me, men are afraid. They spread away from me when I approach. But you . . . you were brave, Tom Little. You did not cower away. You had steel enough in you not only to meet me and speak to me, but you also had courage enough to risk my wrath—a thing which all other men feared.”

—L. Ron Hubbard
