Artichoke's Heart is a really touching book about a high school teenager who is overweight and eventual happiness and even romance. She does lose some weight, but also becomes comfortable with herself, even though she's not a skinny model-type teen. She is bullied at school and learns to deal with that also. It's a very happy, feel-good book. I wish all teens who have trouble fitting in had such positive role models and found such genuine friends.
Now I am going to read Spanking Shakespeare a humorous book about a teen named Shakespeare who also doesn't fit in. He's also a writer . . .
