Slob by Ellen Potter

I really enjoyed this heartwarming, sad little story that also made me chuckle at times.  Owen Birnbaum is the "fattest kid in school."  He wasn't always this way, but something happened 2 years ago and he kind of lost control of his eating to fill a void.  Owen is also a genius, well, almost.  He is about 1 pt. away from being a genius and he invents all kinds of cool things.  One thing is a TV that will help him see something that happened 2 years ago.  While he is inventing, Owen still has to go to school and deal with bullies (both kids AND a teacher who is out to get him), his sister who now wants to be called by a "boy name" and someone is stealing his much loved OREOs out of his lunch!
