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!
