  Quirky, witty and brilliant, Marshall Armstrong is new to school and he definitely stands out from the crowd; but will he find it easy to make friends? A highly original take on a perennially popular theme, performed by Stephen Mangan. 
  Marshall Armstrong is new to our school. 
  He looks different to me. 
  His laces are straight, not criss-crossed like mine, 
  And his eyes are always looking at the blackboard. 
  Marshall Armstrong doesn’t fit into our school. 
  Not one bit… 
  …but it doesn’t take long for Marshall to prove that you don’t have to follow the crowd to be the most popular kid in the playground. 
  A quirky and witty ‘first day at school’ story from a brilliant new talent, perfect for all boys and girls starting at school and meeting new friends. 
  Marshall Armstrong's daily living experience in school is filled with humorous activities that make him stand out. His unique approach to friendship and social interactions makes him the best at being different. 
  For fans of Peter H. Reynolds (When Things Aren't Going Right, Go Left), Tom Percival (Finn's Little Fibs), Kes Gray (Daisy and the Trouble With Unicorns), Todd Parr (The Grandpa Book), and John Burningham (Would You Rather?).
