This is a solid middle school read if you like realistic fiction about over-comers. The main character's struggle with weight loss, bullying, and family have you cheering him on. This would appeal to both boys and girls. I might try this one for book discussion if I can get enough copies.

A good realistic story of an overweight teen struggling to get in shape after he father has a stroke due to his heaviness. Interesting friendships and family relationships, a sports element (running), and struggle many kids face today.
