The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things

Fifteen-year-old "larger-than-average" Virginia Shreves feels like a misfit with no one to turn to. With her renowned psychologist mom, top executive dad, and overachieving older siblings to measure up to, she knows she can't compete. So she spends her days adhering to her own strict "Fat Girl Code of Conduct," missing her recently moved best friend, and navigating an awkward new relationship with a boy.
But then the unthinkable happens, and cracks appear in the family's seemingly perfect facade. Virginia starts to realize that maybe all this time, that instead of trying to meet others' expectations, she should just be herself.
Fifteen years later, Carolyn Mackler's highly acclaimed, Printz Honor-winning story of celebrating imperfection and being who you are returns in a fresh package, with updates to make this story accessible to a brand new generation of readers.
