Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes
by Chris Crutcher
Fat boy and girl with burned skin unite as junior high outcasts. When boy starts losing weight from joining the swim team, he continues to eat prodigious amounts of junk food so that he will maintain his hefty physique and thus his friendship with the girl. Girl stops talking for some mysterious reason, and he visits her in the treatment center daily. Finds out girl's dad is a mean s.o.b. Discusses contemporary issues such as abortion in high school class with rigidly thinking classmate.
Friendship, suspense, psychology.
