A review by trilli_pop
The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler

5.0

Blunt and clever. Exposes the struggle of having a bigger body than is accepted in high school. Ultimately an extremely body-positive book, "The Earth..." exposes the struggle of growing up in a world which is hostile about your body type. It had been banned and challenged for several years for the simple fact that it tells the sometimes tragic sometimes hilarious truth about being a teenager.
