This is a moving, heartbreaking, view into a life of an obese 16 year old boy in high school. Don't let the name "butter" cause you to overlook reading this book. You see the life of butter from his eyes, how he interacts with his mom and dad, how his so called friends view him, and how his true friend participates in his life. 
 It really doesn't matter how old you are, this book brings to life the struggles of childhood, high school, a healthy lifestyle, how others affect ones life, and how one sees themselves in the eyes of everyone around them.
