Title: THis is an awesome book!!!
Review: I first read this book as a lonely, insecure, slightly overweight 13 year old. I was picked on a lot at that age and i could really relate to what Fran Ellen goes through in school. I, too, was also a big klutz in PE and i was so shy and afraid of bringing attention to myself that i'd hide in the bathroom just like Fran Ellen did. I however think that when those girls bullied her she should have stood up for herself more. I would have, i think. However they did pressure her a lot but i would not have given in like she did. It was cool the way in the end the teacher stands up for her as she notices Fran Ellen is improving a lot. The ending was sort of a cliff hanger, however, but one of my fave things about this book is Louis Glansman's illustrations! I had checked it out at the library and could not get enough of his pen and ink pictures--they are so real! The library kept reminding me to return the book and i could not get enough of the illustrations! CHECK IT OUT!!!
