Mark Geoffrey Hopper is a mean-spirited, superior smarty-pants. Shy, nice Mark Geoffrey Hopper has just moved to town. Some of the novel's humor comes from confusion over the boys' identities, but much of the story involves the two Marks figuring out how to deal with each other. Realistic school interactions give Weissman's novel a lot of kid appeal with substance.
