Benny Curtis is a twelve-year-old boy with an eidetic memory-the ability to remember almost everything he sees or hears. Benny's grandfather is a retired humanities professor who loves everything historical. So when he starts spending a lot of time with his grandfather, Benny's mind becomes filled with the history of all sorts of subjects-baseball, movies, art, TV, rock and roll, etc.

With this historical context and his incredible memory, Benny is able to view the world in a unique way. Last year when Benny was eleven, a number of amazing things occurred, not "supernatural" amazing, but real-life amazing. But in order for you to appreciate these remarkable events, you need to hear what led up to them. Benny's journey is filled with humorous observations, anecdotes, and reflections, as he analyzes the world around him.
