Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was completely absorbed by this book, once I picked it up I couldn't put it down! It is so well written, so funny, with such a wonderful message about being oneself in the face of the tremendous pressure of adolescence coupled with society's twisted love affair with food/war on fat. Given the recent statistic that 66% of Americans are overweight, this book lands smack in the middle of the national zeitgeist with compassion, razor-sharp intelligence and humor. This is a great book for teens and adults - fat or thin.

What's worse than being fat your freshman year? Being fat your sophomore year. Lifeused to be so simple for Andrew Zansky–hang with the Model UN guys, avoid gym class,and eat and eat and eat. He's used to not fitting in: into his family, his sports-crazedschool, or his size 48 pants. But not anymore. Andrew just met April, the new girlat school and the instant love of his life! He wants to find a way to win her over,but how? When O. Douglas, the heartthrob quarterback and high-school legend, saveshim from getting beaten up by the school bully, Andrew sees his chance to get inwith the football squad. Is it possible to reinvent yourself in the middle of highschool? Andrew is willing to try. But he's going to have to make some changes. Fast. Can a funny fat kid be friends with a football superstar? Can he win over the Girlof his Dreams? Can he find a way to get his mom and dad back together? How far shouldyou go to be the person you really want to be? Andrew is about to find out.
