Pardon Me, You're Stepping On My Eyeball!

If you think this book has got something to do with horror, you're so completely mistaken. I thought so too when I spotted it sandwiched between two mystery novels. Well, thanks to that library in particular, which didn't have anything worth reading except for boring romance stuff, I found my perfect Romance Book by Paul Zindel which I could totally relate to! I'm currently on the lookout for some of Zindel's other novels.
The story goes as follows...



Fifteen-year-old "Marsh" Mellow thinks the whole world hates him. Then he meets Edna Shinglebox, a classmate who looks as freaky and depressed as he is. Even though Marsh writes hate letters, carries around a raccoon in his coat pocket, and insults Edna constantly, Edna still likes him. After embarking on an incredible adventure that takes them halfway across the country, Edna and Marsh are surprised by what they learn about themselves and each other.
