Andrew is green. Forty-eight doctors and two hospitals have said there is nothing wrong with Andrew, but he keeps getting greener. Everybody at school used to like Andrew and say hi and choose him for teams, but not any more. His father thinks it's Andrew's stubbornness and even changes the family name to Brown. His mother blames herself for making Andrew eat so many vegetables. Finally, they send him to his aunt and uncle at the shore. Even his escape into an all-green world doesn't help Andrew. He hates being green and he hates everybody. Then the Fisherman and his dog Sirius appear on the beach, and Andrew has a chance to own the People Pleasing Switch.
