The Fat Girl
Product Description
The Fat Girl
- Used Book in Good Condition
Jeff Lyons cant stand Ellen de Luca, the fat girl in his ceramics class. Shes huge, clumsy, cant throw a pot to save her life, and stares at Jeff all the time. But hes a ""nice guy"" and feels terrible when Ellen overhears his hurtful remarks about her. The ""crumbs of kindness"" he tosses her way soon turn into advice on weight loss, college, clothes, hair . . . and, to everyones surprise, good-looking Jeff actually dumps his pretty girlfriend to be with the fat girl! Re-creating Ellen is a labor of love, Jeff thinks. But as her pounds melt away, Jeff resents the happy, independent young woman he has unleashed. Where is the gratitude for all hes done for her? With this darkly ironic take on the classic Pygmalion tale, Marilyn Sachs offers young readers a candid portrayal of what happens when the intoxicating thrill of control is confused with love.
