Illustrated by
Nick Sharratt.
Spider Storch begs his annoying classmate Mary Grace Brennerman not to blab to the entire school that he's in a wedding with her. She agrees on the condition that he stop calling her names. Of course, her demands continue until Spider can't take any more. Willner-Pardo's writing is snappy, fast-paced, and funny, and Sharratt's cartoonlike spot illustrations add to the humor.
