Bonnie is 14 and fat and her repetition of all the insults thrown at her is both funny and painful as she battles to get her first boyfriend and a kiss. The story also deals with bullying and a whole range of ways that children are humiliated by other children. It's great fun, the tone is well maintained and the story rushes along, keeping you entertained but aware of what it's like to be out of step with the tribe of 'normal' people. Comedy with an edge that'll appeal to a great many readers.
