Wendy Shanker Ordre des livres (chronologique)

How often do you find yourself looking in the mirror? And smiling at what you see?More likely, you're thinking what you see Fat, Ugly, Skinny, Round, Stacked or Flat, Bad or Good. From reality television to tabloid headlines, we're all surrounded by weight and discussion of weight. In this collection, a stellar lineup of YA writers sound off on body image., self-esteem, diets, eating disorders, boys, fashion magazines, and why trying on jeans is a bad experience for everyone. There are eight powerful short stories and six moving personal essays from authors whose works include two New York Times bestsellers, a Los Angeles TImes Book Prize, and a Printz Honor; an appendix offers book, movie, and music recommendations. (And in case you're still wondering, No this book does not make you look fat.)

The humor columnist for Grace magazine, who has had enough of people trying to make her thin, believes that one can be fit and fat and shows how the media, corporate greed, and even loved ones can make one think otherwise. Reprint. 30,000 first printing.
