She's huge, clumsy, can't throw a pot to save her life, and stares at Jeff all the time. But he's a "nice guy" and feels terrible when Ellen overhears his hurtful remarks about her. The "crumbs of kindness" he tosses her way soon turn into advice on weight loss, college, clothes, hair . . . and, to everysurprise, good-looking Jeff actually dumps his pretty girlfriend to be with the fat girl! Re-creating Ellen is a labor of love, Jeff thinks. But as her pounds melt away, Jeff resents the happy, independent young woman he has unleashed. Where is the gratitude for all he's done for her? <P>With this darkly ironic take on the clasPygmalion tale, Marilyn Sachs offers young readers a candid portrayal of what happens when the intoxicating thrill of control is confused with love. 275870 1984 Fat Girl total:72|5:6|4:14|3:21|2:23|1:8| 72 203 136 18 284351 0738710008 9780738710006 69 18 2.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173407012m/284351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/284351.Fat_Girl 0 2 false Sat Jan 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Apr 30 15:07:33 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 30 15:08:55 -0700 2008 284351 0738710008 9780738710006 69 18 2.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173407012m/284351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/284351.Fat_Girl 4 0 false Sun Apr 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 14:48:53 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 15:01:43 -0700 2009
