When Marshall arrives at school, the unnamed narrator of this amusing story declares the boy to be just too different to fit in. After an eye-opening party at Marshall's house, the narrator changes his opinion and even has an open mind about the next new student. Large-scale, quirky illustrations reflect Marshall's eccentricity and help deliver the message about tolerance with a light touch.
