Marshall Armstrong is new. He looks different, eats strange things, has fancy equipment, reads the newspaper instead of watching television, and generally doesn't fit in (although it doesn't seem to bother him). Until his birthday party - which everyone expects to be deadly dull.

A great book about first impressions and assumptions that could spark thoughtful conversations among students in all grades. Definitely one to read aloud at the start of school.
I would definitely use this book in a middle school (or primary) classroom. It's a great picture book about being "different" and learning to accept others. The illustrations were creative and made me wish I was inside the book!
Marshall Armstrong is the new kid at school and he is very different from everyone else. His things are different. He looks different with his birdseed freckles and ears like shells. His arms are white with red bumps that he says are mosquito bites. He even eats “space food” for lunch! He can’t play during recess. He stays out of the sun. He doesn’t watch any TV. So when Marshall Armstrong has a birthday party, everyone is sure that it is going to be awful. But guess what, Marshall Armstrong’s house is different too! Different in some great ways!
