read for the GD summer challenge (shelf discovery)
i thought i'd read this book before, but no - didn't strike a bell. it's told from the fat girl's point of view which is in contrast to Blubber, and this girl's self esteem is so low that she thinks her best friend only talks to her because her mother makes her. by the end of the book, it seems she's lost a bit of weight and gained a little esteem. don't know if that's a good message or not.
