so-soAfter someone calls him fat in forth grade, Will spirals. He loses friends, isolates and loathes himself and experiences disordered eating. This book is intense. It could definitely trigger people with eating disorders while it could also help others realize they are not alone. Would I recommend it? I am honestly not sure.
pickThis was pitched as “Starfish” with a male protagonist and I can see where the comparison comes from. Will‘s story is very introspective, being written entirely as journal entries with doodles throughout. It was very effective to illustrate exactly what was going on in his head, and what was going on was so painful. My heart hurts for Will and all the kids who feel like him. This will be an important one for every person (kid and adult) to read.
pickMG story, told through prose, verse and illustrations, of young Will Chambers‘ struggle with self acceptance as the only overweight kid at his school. Feeling “different” or wishing to be invisible at times, is something I think we can all relate to 😔
