Der zwölfjährige David Eliot wurde gerade wegen »übermäßiger Kameradschaft« seiner Schule verwiesen, und das gefällt seinem spießigen Vater gar nicht. Doch direkt nach dem Rauswurf kommt unerwartet ein Brief hereingeflattert, der David einlädt, ins Internat »Groosham Grange« einzutreten. Davids Vater ist begeistert, und ein paar Stunden später sitzt David schon im Zug nach Norfolk, wo das Internat auf der einsamen »Schädelinsel« liegt. Im Zug freundet er sich mit Jill und Jeffrey an, die auch nach Groosham Grange eingeladen wurden, und zwar unter ebenso mysteriösen Umständen.
