INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Jennings, Patrick

Odd, Weird & Little

(2) 4-6 Ten-year-old Woodrow Schewette tells of the arrival of Toulouse Hulot, an unusual new student in his class. Extremely short with huge eyes and a pointy nose, Toulouse wears a suit, gloves, and bowler hat and carries a briefcase. He also has a secret (that's spelled out in the book's title). There's genuine humor and heart here, with pacing well suited to middle-grade readers.
