This chapter book in Newbery Honor–winning and bestselling author Louis Sachar’s Marvin Redpost series offers a sidesplitting take on being the new kid at school.
 
When Marvin and Stuart sleep over at Nick Tuffle’s house for Nick’s birthday, they set up sleeping bags in the back yard. Stuart and Nick go right to sleep, but Marvin tosses and turns. Then he hears a noise and something glowing zooms over his head. Is it really a flying birthday cake? Or could it be something even more bizarre? The next day, a very strange new kid shows up at school….
 
Hilarious and relatable, Marvin Redpost is perfect for kids who love to bond with quirky characters like Junie B. Jones and George Brown, Class Clown.

      Marvin has forgotten about the UFO he thought he saw when a new kid named Joe Normal shows up at school. Readers will enjoy knowing that Joe is an alien while the characters don't--and they don't ever find out. Clipped sentences and short paragraphs are just right for new readers and for the story--a smart, funny twist on the new-kid theme, reminding us that everyone feels alienated at one time or another.
