Children's Fiction

Someday, they tell her, things will be better. But for Angeline, someday can't come soon enough. Mean kids at school call her a 'genius freak', her teacher seems to dislike her and her Dad is worried about her.
But when she makes friends with a boy who tells the best jokes, and a teacher who loves tropical fish, things start to get better in some surprising ways - for all of them. With Sachar's trademark plot twists and turns and lovely humour, this novel is a delight.
