Ages 7-11. Marvin Higgins is always calling people names and making them mad. And because the new girl in class, Lucy Tinker, has hair that sticks up like a porcupine, Marvin starts picking on her. But Lucy doesn't like being teased. So she decides to be mean, too, and scratches Marvin with her long, rainbow-colored nails! Now Marvin is dreaming up plans to get even with this new, mean girl. Will Marvin and Lucy ever stop fighting?
