Illustrated by
Martin Matje.
Anxious about not fitting in at his new school, Stuart hopes his magic cape of ties (Stuart's Cape) will help. Things get off to a rocky start (during show-and-tell, Stuart stands in front of the class in his underpants), but the magic cape comes to the rescue and Stuart is eventually a class hit. The story is disjointed at times, but the wacky drawings are entertaining.
