E.E. Charlton-Trujillo
Her sister was captured in Iraq, sheâ€™s the resident laughingstock at school, and her therapist tells her to count instead of eat. Can a daring new girl in her life really change anything?,Angie is broken â€” by her canâ€™t-be-bothered mother, by her high-school tormenters, and by being the only one who thinks her varsity-athlete-turned-war-hero sister is still alive. Hiding under a mountain of junk food hasnâ€™t kept the pain (or the shouts of "crazy mad cow!") away. Having failed to kill herself â€” in front of a gym full of kids â€” sheâ€™s back at high school just trying to make it through each day. That is, until the arrival of KC Romance, the kind of girl who doesnâ€™t exist in Dryfalls, Ohio. A girl who is one hundred and ninety-nine percent wow! A girl who never sees her as Fat Angie, and who knows too well that the package doesnâ€™t always match whatâ€™s inside. With an offbeat sensibility, mean girls to rival a horror classic, and characters both outrageous and touching, this darkly comic anti-romantic romance will appeal to anyone who likes entertaining and meaningful fiction.,It has been awarded the Stonewall Book Award-Mike Morgan and Larry Romans Children's & Young Adult Literature Award for 2014.
