Title: A poorly written book parents should beware of.
Product review: One Fat Summer is the story of an overweight teenager made fun of by the local teens in a summer resort. He's over-worked and under-paid by Dr. Kahn, who he takes a summer job with. He lies about his job, he covers up for his sister who is sneaking out of the house with her boyfriend, and he is beaten-up and assaulted at gunpoint by the local bully. There are several innuendos of an adult nature and no alternative behaviors, aside from violence, to resolve conflict. The ending is poorly written, leaving you wondering what happens to him. Unfortunately, this story leaves you with the message that if you're overweight you can only feel good about yourself if you lose weight, its ok for others to make fun of you, and violence is an acceptable solution to your problems. In this day and age this is no message to be sending our children.
