Did you know that the only thing worse than starting school as a stranger is starting school with an enemy?   Ten-year-old Sarah worries about finding friends when she moves to Maryland.  Her fears are realized when she accidentally knocks the class bully's little brother off his bicycle, trying to save him from a car.  As Eric the big brother seeks revenge, Sarah skillfully plots against this meanest bully ever.  You will laugh out loud at the clever pranks Sarah invents to win respect and friendship in her new school.  (Jeannie Bellavance bellavance@erols.com. for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards)
