After being orphaned at an early age and spending years in boarding schools, Dilly begins a new life in a real house in a small town, developing secret magnetic powers under the tutelage of a kindly professor, until he is kidnapped by a madman who plans to control the world with a computer.
I read this back when it first came out a long, long time ago. It was one of the few books at that time that I read more than once. If you have a child who shows an interest in science fiction books I guarantee they will love this one.
It's a great book!
