Big Fat
Manifesto by Susan Vaught
Review by Miss Katelyn
Aspiring journalist and actress, plus student and feature editor of The
Wire, her high school newspaper, Jamie Carcaterra lets us enter the
first few months of her senior year. Aside from writing a regular column,
Fat Girl, where she tells not just her small town but the nation about the
struggles of being a fat teenage girl in America, stars in The
Wiz as the Wicked Witch of the West (with a whip!), and takes the ACT.
With such a busy schedule, how is a girl to find time to support her
boyfriend, Burke, in weight-loss surgery, spend time with the mysterious
editor-in-chief of The Wire, or
help fold protest fliers? This book is filled with the life of a teenage
girl with too much on her plate, and making sure that none of it falls
off. |
