Description

Nicholas is a twelve-year-old with red hair whose dad just remarried. This makes Nicholas a literal redheaded stepchild. And tomorrow at lunch, the biggest boy in grade six plans to beat him up - he even made a Facebook event. Should Nicholas skip school, even if it means missing the chance to audition for the class play and impressing his English teacher Mr Barton? His new stepmom, a chain-smoking, ex-Jehovah's Witness golf pro named Mary-Anne doesn't want him playing hooky. And Rufus Vermilion, Nicholas's fabulous and charismatic alter ego, also has opinions about it. But when events in the schoolyard leave both Mary-Anne and Rufus speechless, it's up to Nicholas to pick up the pieces and do some serious growing up.
