false 5986471 2 <b>What’s worse than being fat your freshman year? Being fat your sophomore year.</b> Life used to be so simple for Andrew Zansky–hang with the Model UN guys, avoid gym class, and eat and eat and eat. He’s used to not fitting in: into his family, his sports-crazed school, or his size 48 pants. But not anymore. Andrew just met April, the new girl at school and the instant love of his life! He wants to find a way to win her over, but how? When O. Douglas, the heartthrob quarterback and high-school legend, saves him from getting beaten up by the school bully, Andrew sees his chance to get in with the football squad. Is it possible to reinvent yourself in the middle of high school? Andrew is willing to try. But he’s going to have to make some changes. Fast. Can a funny fat kid be friends with a football superstar? Can he win over the Girl of his Dreams? Can he find a way to get his mom and dad back together? How far should you go to be the person you really want to be? Andrew is about to find out. 6160230 book 8 9 2009 Food, Girls, & Other Things I Can't Have total:61|5:11|4:39|3:10|2:1|1:0| 61 243 159 29 4 0 false false Sat Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 03 10:23:42 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 10:23:42 -0800 2009 It deals with the pros/cons of popularity and what happens when you "befriend the enemy".
