The school science fair is fast approaching. Johnny is determined to not only win the grand prize of ‘The Young Inventor’s Award’, but he is also going to show everyone just what an ‘awesome inventor’ he really is by creating something so mind-blowing that it will change the world as we know it. Johnny’s secret inventor’s tools, his ‘big inventor’s armchair’ and his ‘red inventor’s thinking cap’, provide him with the most brilliant, futuristic vision ever – ‘extraordinary flying shoes’ that will follow your every command and take you wherever you need to go fast, fearless and fuss-free.

A lot of skill and expertise help create Johnny’s flying shoes; Mr Giovanni, Johnny’s Italian neighbour and his dad make sure of this. So, what can possibly go wrong? Are Johnny’s futuristic flying shoes really that ‘extraordinary’, or are they just fancy feet flying fast?

Join Johnny on his life-changing, hilarious and extraordinary journey of creation, calamity and ultimately, celebration!
