Description

When a new kid joins his class, Woodrow agrees with his classmates, Toulouse is really weird. He's short, dresses in a suit like a grandpa, has huge eyes and barely says a word. But Woodrow isn't exactly Mr. Popularity himself. The frequent target of the class bully, he thinks that maybe all Toulouse needs is a chance. When the two are put together to play volleyball, they make quite the team. Toulouse can serve, set and spike like a pro. He really knows how to fly around the court. But when the teasing switches back to Woodrow, he learns that Toulouse is also a good friend.

"Jennings does not skip a beat as he builds realistic relationships and problem-solving around an outrageously funny premise." starred, Kirkus Reviews
