kdotsart 's review for:

Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher
4.0

It took a while for me to get into this book, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. This is an unbelievably moving, deep book. It covers bullies, kids who are different, suicide, abortion, child abuse, mental and physical abuse, and the power of friendship through all these things. I would love to see this book updated and reprinted so it would be more relevant for students today.
