A mirror into the heart of many girls . . .

Shannon's Mirror is the story a teenage girl who goes on a diet with a friend. But a diet is not where it ends. Soon, Shannon's eating gets out of control. No matter what her weight is, she always feels fat and self-conscious. Shannon realizes she is getting weaker and she finds it hard to keep up with her daily activities. But she will do anything to be thin. Shannon runs to keep thin. She even goes out in the middle of the night so her parents don't realize how obsessed she is with her weight. Eventually, Shannon is too weak to do her daily tasks and she is put in the hospital where she is monitored. There is a shocking ending that is unexpected. It's a sad but a true to life story that we see all the time. This book provides us with a window to see into the hearts of many girls with the same battle that Shannon had.
