Descripción del artículo del vendedor
Fifteen-year-old "larger-than-average" Virginia Shreves feels like a misfit with no one to turn to. With her renowned psychologist mom, top executive dad, and overachieving older siblings to measure up to, she knows she can't compete. So she spends her days adhering to her own strict "Fat Girl Code of Conduct," missing her recently moved best friend, and navigating an awkward new relationship with a boy. But then the unthinkable happens, and cracks appear in the family's seemingly perfect facade. Virginia starts to realize that maybe all this time, that instead of trying to meet others' expectations, she should just be herself. Fifteen years later, Carolyn Mackler's highly acclaimed, Printz Honor-winning story of celebrating imperfection and being who you are returns in a fresh package, with updates to make this story accessible to a brand new generation of readers.

A Michael L. Printz Honor Book * An ALA Best Book for Young Adults * A YALSA Teens' Top Ten Book * An NYPL Book for the Teen Age
Carolyn Mackler's Printz Honor book--starring the unforgettably funny, body-conscious Virginia Shreves--returns in this 15th anniversary edition featuring text updates and never-before-seen material from the author.
Fifteen-year-old Virginia feels like a plus-sized black sheep in her family, especially next to her perfect big brother Byron. Not to mention her best friend has moved, leaving Virginia to navigate an awkward relationship with a boy alone. He might like her now . . . but she has her doubts about how he'll react if he ever looks under all her layers of clothes.
In order to survive, Virginia decides to follow a “Fat Girl Code of Conduct,” which works, until the unthinkable causes her family's façade to crumble. As her world spins out of orbit, she realizes that being true to herself might be the only way back.
Told in a perfect blend of humor and heart, this acclaimed Printz Honor winner resonates as much today as it did when it first published, and now features a new author foreword, text updates, and other bonus content.
