Food Fight (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646033430)

"A must-read for anyone who has ever fought their own battles with both fitting in and being themselves." --Shannon Schuren, author of Where Echoes Lie

Ben Snyder is ready for middle school. But his super picky eating, which has never been a big deal before, is about to take him down. Suddenly everybody's on his case about what he's eating and what he's not--his old friends, his new friends, his weird lab partner, the girl he's crushing on, and a bully--and Ben finds himself in social free fall, sliding toward the bottom of the middle school food chain. Even worse, there's an upcoming three-day class trip to a colonial campsite. Knowing he can't handle the gag-worthy menu, Ben prepares for the outing like it's a survival mission. Armed with new and unexpected information about his eating habits that could change everything, he sets out with three tactical goals: impress the girl, outsmart the bully, and avoid every single meal. But when epic hunger threatens to push him over the edge, Ben must decide how far he will go to fit in and if he has the courage to stand out.
