When Zachary Beaver Came To Town
I read this book last year, but when I saw it on the shelf I HAD to pick it up and read it again. I forgot some of the story, but I remember I loved it. It may be my obsession with chubby kids, or just the style of the writing, but I can't put this book down! I like how it's a pretty easy read, but it sill keeps you hooked.
It starts off with Toby, the main-ish character, saying how rare it is for something interesting to happen in his town. He and his friend, Cal, are in line to see the world's fattest boy - Zachary Beaver. I think it's a little sad to go make fun of a fat kid, and pay for it , but I guess if I lived in a small town where everything is the same, I might go too. Zachary has to sit in a cramped trailer all day, having people walk through it staring at him and laughing. I would probably have a breakdown eventually, because I couldn't take sitting down all day, being separated from the world with a piece of glass, being advertised as the Fattest kid in the world. It would definitely lower my self esteem, but Zachary doesn't seem to care. I got through almost half this book, because it got so hard for me to stop(:
