This is an excellent book. This is the story of a very overweight girl going into junior high and dealing with her mother dating, being a misfit with no friends whatsoever, and being taunted relentlessly by Miss Popularity, Marilyn. Lois seems to not want any friends and takes her anger out on food. This proves to be a problem when she grows larger and larger. She finds solace in a teacher who takes Lois under her wing, puts her on a diet and helps build her back up when she is emotionally abused by a teacher who yells at her for no reason and allows the class to laugh at her. This is definitely a book to read if you're into teasing others for being different. It will show you what you're doing to that person.
