Can mediocrity be amazing? The best-selling author of Frindle demonstrates that anything is possible with a little kindness. Jordan Johnston is a typical person. neither small nor tall. not thin or fat. Not talented, not failing. She wears average-sized shoes, even. She seems to be typical for her town, her school, and even the entire planet. Suddenly Marlea Harkins, one of the most popular and undoubtedly the meanest girls in school, does something unfathomable, and all of a sudden, Jordan, who was previously a good, average guy, isn't thinking like an average guy anymore. She desires Marlea's return! But how can you best deal with a bully? Maybe with kindness.
