Lewis used to have more nits than any kid, ever, and he loved them. Now his head has been shaved, and every single nit is gone - or so he thinks. He knows exactly who to blame and he's ready to take action. Ned, the first ever jumping louse, is lonely on the wasteland of Lewis's bare scalp. Should he leap into the future - and maybe discover his secret past - in the dark world of the Other Forest. Boy and nit, both headed for trouble.
