The Misfits

Beschreibung

The Misfits--outspoken Addie, outrageous Joe, sloppy Skeezie, and overweight Bobbie--form a new political party in their seventh grade elections and face more than one obstacle from their teacher and other students. Meanwhile, Bobbie lives with his widowed dad, and learns the fine art of tie salesmanship while struggling with new emotions for a new girl in school.
