Readers of Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time will remember this book's narrator, Marley Sandelski, as the best friend Stanford left behind. Marley feels like a nobody, invisible to everyone except bullies who torment him. Yee admirably keeps the topic of bullying a realistically complicated one; also particularly well handled is fast-runner Marley's surprisingly difficult decision about whether to join the track team.
