When Mr Perfect comes to stay, the five misfits find themselves questioning what their purpose in life is. Can they teach him that not fitting in is more fun than trying to be perfect?

Both the collages, whose myriad images will captivate readers, and the text will help kids realize that character rather than looks or talents determines a person's value. VERDICT An offbeat but interesting option for group sharing that would make a good choice for general purchase."--School Library Journal * School Library Journal *
