About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A fun and quirky book with great illustrations. Was a fun read-aloud.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Summary: Marshall Armstrong is New to Our School is a story told by a boy who has to sit by the new boy in school, Marshall. The boy doesn’t want to sit by Marshall because he is different. The boy doesn’t think that Marshall fits in, and he doesn’t want to be Marshall’s friend. Marshall invites the class to his birthday party, and the boy does not want to go. His Mom makes him though, and he ends up having a lot of fun! The things in that had made Marshall different at school lead to fun things to do at Marshall’s house. The boy ends up liking Marshall, and at the end of the book when another new student arrives, the boy wants to sit by her too. Personal Reaction: I really enjoyed this book! The pictures are well done, and the children I read the book to really liked them. It shows that you shouldn’t judge someone before you get to know them! Even though Marshall was different, the boy ended up having a lot of fun with him. Classroom Extension Ideas: This would be a great book to read before the arrival of a new student in the classroom. It could also be used when teaching about unity, because even though Marshall was different like some students might be, the class can still get along and have fun together.
