In this book, a new boy comes to Marvin's class. He seems strange to most of the class but Marvin befriends him and eventually helps his other friends at school learn to like Joe too. But who is Joe Normal? Could the flying birthday cake Marvin saw at a sleepover explain anything about Joe?

There's a new kid at school and Marvin must admit that he's a little strange. But still, that's no excuse for everyone to pick on him.
This is another solid story from Sachar. It is his classic simple writing style achieving success on many levels. Fun plotting, real characters (well, that could be a stretch with this particular story[wink]), and a solid voice with which kids of all ages may relate.

Fun little read for our 2nd & 3rd grade book club at the library. Trademark Sachar humor, and I like the fact that it's open-ended, leaving the reader some things to speculate about.

This book got five because there was a flying birthday cake with green icing and the candles made it glow. Ha ha! Could you ever imagine that? I couldn't. This message is done now. Bye.

Louis Sachar is a great writer for mid-grammar school age kids--The Marvin Redpost series is a great example of his talent at accessible writing and reading for this age group

I wonder where the flying birthday cake really came from? It doesn't exactly tell you in the book. It makes me wonder if Joe is an alien...
