Publisher's Note For 9-year-old Liza Bain it's not easy having a younger brother like John. John is so shy, he won't talk to anyone except Liza. When John starts first grade, he refuses to learn how to read or write. Their teacher punishes him and the other kids start calling him "Stargone John". Now even Liza doesn't know what to do.
