The Fat Boy Chronicles

"I'm the diet-challenged kid who sits in the last seat by the door. I'm probably bigger now than I was this morning because your class is right after lunch and homeroom," writes Jimmy Winterpock. At age fourteen, 5'5" Jimmy weighs 187 pounds. Outside the comfort of his family and church, life for Jimmy is a constant struggle. The cruel taunts of his classmates make going to school or playing sports a humiliating experience. Yet, he still manages to focus on his goals--to lose weight and win over the girl of his dreams. Inspired by a true story, THE FAT BOY CHRONICLES reveals to readers the emotionally painful world obese teens experiece in the face of a thin-obsessed society.
