A Work in Progress
Jarrett Lerner
Told through verse, prose, and illustrations, this novel follows a middle school boy dealing with bullying, eating disorders, self-esteem, and a path toward healing. He hides in oversized clothes, sits at the back of class, and avoids the cafeteria. He has a crush on Jules but believes his size rules out any chance with her. As he changes his eating habits and exercises, he struggles with the harsh self-image he calls the Will Monster and with learning self-acceptance.
