Written by Erin Fry, this big-kid fiction book (FIC FRY) tackles a troubling subject. But where it seems there is a multitude of recent stories about disabilities (Wonder, Out of My Mind, Rules), this novel tackles obesity. The main character is a boy who struggles with his weight (and bullies) and makes a decision to change his life after his overweight dad suffers a stroke. I loved the main character and my heart went out to him knowing there are a lot of kids who can relate to his issues.
