It's hard enough for Eve to adjust to a new high school without the extra weight she's gained over the summer.

Her best friend is ashamed to hang out with her, and she's become the focus of a schoolmate's cruelty. Determined not to be "that pathetic fat girl" at school, Eve struggles with a diet and forces herself to join a mentoring program. The diet only makes her food obsessed, and she feels she is failing as a mentor. How can a lonely fat girl gain the confidence she needs to succeed?

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read!

      Eve has gained weight just before starting high school. Her good friend has abandoned her, and she's subject to teasing. A series of fad diets make her even more miserable, but gradually she finds new friends and mentors a younger girl whose problems put her own in perspective. Readers will relate to Eve's story despite a too-obvious plot and a superficial ending.
