Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have

von Allen Zadoff

Life used to be so simple for Andrew—hang with the Model UN guys, avoid gym class, and eat, eat, eat. He's used to not fitting in: into his family, his sports-crazed school, or his size 48 pants.

But then Andrew meets 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?

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.
