- Synopsis
- Feeling sorry for the Fat Girl? Let's take care of a few myths right now, before you even start to stereotype: Myth Number One. Speak gently to poor Fat Girl. She can't help her terrible disability. Myth Number Two. Poor Fat Girl needs to be educated about her problem. Myth Number Three. Poor Fat Girl laughs to hide her tears. Myth Number Four. Poor lonely Fat Girl can't get a date. Myth Number Five. All poor Fat Girl wants to do is lose weight. Writing a column every week in the school newspaper about what it really means to be fat, Jamie Carcaterra-high school senior, star of her school's production of The Wiz, and features editor of The Wire- offers readers a searing and hilarious account of her full-size fight to change the thinking of a very thin world.
