Big Girl Small by Rachel DeWoskin
5.0

This book is not a young adults book, but it really nailed what it is like to be in high school, especially if you are different for any reason. This is the story of a little person and how she tries to fit in with everyone else at an arts school. She falls for this popular boy who is not very nice. The book opens with the girl in a motel room very angry and talking of how she can never go back to school or her family as how can she go back after they have seen what has happened? So right from the beginning you know that the story is not going to be happy, but it was very enthralling. There are funny parts, and sad parts, and you just feel for the main character. I kept forgetting that she was a little person and just pictured her as a normal teenager as really this was written so it could have been anyone in high school that just didn’t fit in. Really good book that hooked me right from the beginning.
