Description

Eight-year-old Angeline Persopolis is a remarkable child whose extraordinary intelligence sets her apart from her classmates—and leaves her longing for an ordinary life. When she befriends Gary “Goon,” another school outsider, and forms an unexpected bond with a compassionate teacher, Angeline begins to discover the acceptance and companionship she has been missing. As her family and friends learn to understand her gifts, the story explores belonging, friendship, family, and the courage to be different. Warm, funny, and tender, this early novel showcases Louis Sachar’s gift for combining playful humor with genuine emotional insight.
