This is a wonderful book for teens!! Very interesting!
The Hilarious adventures of two misfits- Marsh Mellow & Edna Shinglebox. "I love the school cafeteria in fifth period because there's a girl in there with long, straight, black hair, whose name is Edna Shinglebox, and she looks as freaky and depressed as I am.
That's Marsh Mellow talking. He writes hate letters, keeps a raccoon his pocket and thinks the whole world loathes his guts. Then he meets Edna, bombards her with insults, blasts her with outrageous lies and drags her on a horrendous, wild goose chase halfway across country in search os someone who doesn't exist! There's just one thing Marsh doesn't understand--Edna Shinglebox likes him.

This is a great story about friendship. Zindel makes the characters seem very real with very real problems. They come alive in a very fun story, that is hard to put down.
