CHAPTER 1

I'm different! I'm getting a big front tooth. What's different about you?

We're all different sizes at school. Look how big Greg is. Look how small Libby is. And I'm right in-between.

But at home, I'm the biggest kid.

I can't eat chocolate or shrimp or clams.

If I ate them, I'd feel sick.

Charlie's fastest with puzzles.

Cindy can whistle. And remember how good Kearsten is at cutting out snowflakes?

Everyone wanted to dress up like a ghost for the Halloween parade.

I like to be different.

My father helped me—I was a robot.

I was different, all right.
