Artichoke's heart / Suzanne Supplee

I really identified with Rosie, who is fat and miserable but hates the way even her family define her by her size and eating habits. I loved the way she found her own way to deal with her weight problem and fought her way into accepting herself despite the horrible insults she constantly had to put up with at school. Thumbs up for the ending which was realistic and satisfying at the same time.

Who would enjoy this?
Anyone who likes books with characters you would like to have as your own friends, and who likes to finish a book wishing it would go on and on.

  1. It's not fair to have such yummy looking chocolates on the front cover. No wonder Rosie had weight issues...
