Brief summary:
Lazlo S. Gazky, a new kid in class, has just come to this country from Hungary. Lazlo's first days at Brookhaven School are a nightmare: His "different" looks and manner set him apart from the other children and inspire the kind of teasing elementary school kids and their parents will quickly recognize. After initially joining in the taunting, Ellie McSnelly and Carrie O'Toole offer Lazlo their hands in friendship and prove to the rest of the class that looking different is not such a bad thing.
