From School Library Journal:

Grade 6-9 --Two of the most eccentric characters in children's literature star in this offbeat offering. Ninth graders Brenda Tuna and India Ink Teidlebaum, determined to be noticed as they enter high school, come up with some wacky schemes so as not to get lost in the look-alike-act-alike herd of fellow students. Kicked off the school newspaper staff, they organize an underground newspaper and expose a cafeteria scam. With the help of a teacher who's a true kindred spirit, they pull off the adoption of a bison from the federal government to serve as a high-school mascot. Adult characters range from either caring and supportive to just plain rotten; there's no in between--which is just as it should be in this thoroughly modern farce. Zany, preposterous, and a totally original look at teen angst in a New York City suburb.
