Fat Angie Author:e.E. Charlton-Trujillo Her sister was captured in Iraq, she?s the resident laughingstock at school, and her therapist tells her to count instead of eat. Can a daring new girl in her life really change anything? — Angie is broken ? by her can?t-be-bothered mother, by her high-school tormenters, and by being the only one who thinks her varsity-athlete-turned-war-hero sis... more »ter is still alive. Hiding under a mountain of junk food hasn?t kept the pain (or the shouts of "crazy mad cow!") away. Having failed to kill herself ? in front of a gym full of kids ? she?s back at high school just trying to make it through each day. That is, until the arrival of KC Romance, the kind of girl who doesn?t exist in Dryfalls, Ohio. A girl who is one hundred and ninety-nine percent wow! A girl who never sees her as Fat Angie, and who knows too well that the package doesn?t always match what?s inside. With an offbeat sensibility, mean girls to rival a horror classic, and characters both outrageous and touching, this darkly comic anti-romantic romance will appeal to anyone who likes entertaining and meaningful fiction.« less
