From back cover: "I love the school cafeteria in fifth period because there's a girl in there with long, straight, black hair, whose name is Edna Shinglebox, and she looks as freaky and depressed as I am."

That's Marsh Mellow talking. He writes hate letters, keeps a racoon in his pocket and thinks the whole world loathes his guts. Then he meets Edna, bombards her with insults, blasts her with outrageous lies and drags her on a horrendous, wild goose chase halfway across country in search of someone who doesn't exist! There's just one thing Marsh doesn't understand - Edna Shinglebox likes him.
