The Fat Boy Chronicles

A book that I have been thinking about picking up and reading is The Fat Boy Chronicles by Diane Lang, Thomas H. Inge, and Michael Buchanon. This book received a 3.9 out of five on Goodreads( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6542580-the-fat-boy-chronicles ). I have also heard from multiple sources that it is a very enjoyable book to read. The meaning behind the book is explained on Goodreads, "... reveals to readers the emotionally painful world obese teens experience in the face of a thin-obsessed society."

The personal connection I have to this book is that the book is about a student that once attended William Mason High School, which is where I go to school. The book can also relate to many people because of the topic of bullying. Kathie Bryant, who rated the book five out of five stars, in the comment section of Goodreads states it perfectly, "Anyone can relate to this book. Those who are bullied, find hope. Those who are bullies, find forgiveness." I might have to research this book more in depth and decide if I want to read it or not.
