      About This Book

      "I can't believe it. I'm actually going to be the new kid."

      Howard Jeeter is living his worst nightmare. His parents have moved him across the country without even asking, and they don't care one bit that they've ruined his life. The kids in Howard's new town act as if he's totally invisible—except for his six-year-old neighbor, Molly Vera Thompson. True, Howard could use a friend, but an annoying little girl who talks nonstop and looks like a miniature Bozo isn't exactly what he had in mind. Of course, when you're really lonely, you'll be friends with anyone—almost.
