Marceline did what? In Volume Three, the clerk with the white gloves has to take a dangerous chance on Marceline's stories. Certainly something happened. No one denies that. But can he believe she and her friend Billy Bronner ran afoul of a fourth-grade teacher from outer space? Can he believe nothing but a golden hula hoop flew Marceline halfway across the world? When he finds The Very Exclusive One-of-a-Kind Gift Shop and even his own life in jeopardy, Marceline insists that she can help him. If he'll trust her. But he says no sensible person could ever trust Marceline. After all, she's only nine years old. Or so she says.
