That's right, it's Benjamin Nushmutt! Introduced in Wayside School is Falling Down, he epitomized the entirety of my awkward tween-to-teen years. No matter what he did or said, no one bothered to get to know the real him. In fact, the entire class (including the teacher) insisted that his name was Mark Miller, and he was too shy/awkward/afraid to correct them. To say the least, my coming-of-age was what I call "Nushmutty."
