Personal response:

Not sure if audio books count, but this was one. Loved the narrator's voice; very authentic sound of a young man in rural America. A 'freak act' comes to Toby's small town, and he and his best friend Cal try to befriend Zachary, who is called the 'Fattest Boy in the World.' At times sad , a lot of time funny, ultimately a hopeful story.

Cirriculum/programming connections:

Can be used in a book group on topic of size acceptance, family separation, small town life, "freaks", coming of age.
