Life isn’t easy for Tommy and his mother. The most important things in life for the rest of the occupants of Montague Street are money and status symbols, and these are two things that Tommy and his mother definitely do not have. The shallow and cruel children of the street taunt Tommy by calling him ‘beggar boy’. Just when he thinks he can stand no more of their petty jibes, a strange ragged boy comes to his defence. Tommy is appreciative but puzzled at the sudden appearance of his scruffy friend and at his new ally’s amazing talent for creating fear and chaos in the lives of his affluent enemies. Where does the boy come from and, more puzzlingly, how can he appear and disappear so quickly?
