gadrake 's review for:

Fat Kid Rules the World by K.L. Going
4.0

Issues included are suicide, harassment and bullying, low self-esteem, parental emotional support and also abandonment. A boy who feels like a failure to his family and who is socially awkward meets an unlikely friend who happens to be a great guitarist, but has baggage of his own in the form of drug abuse and homelessness. Both move toward healing.
