Standing 5'5\" and weighing 187 pounds, he's subjected to a daily barrage of taunts and torments. His only sources of comfort are his family, his youth group, and his favorite foods. When his English teacher assigns a journal as a writing project, Jimmy chronicles not only his struggles but also his aspirations - to lose weight and win the girl of his dreams. Inspired by a true story and told in first-person journal entries, The Fat Boy Chronicles brings to life the pain and isolation felt by many overweight teenagers as they try to find their way in a world obsessed with outward beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Lang, Michael Buchanan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1585365432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585365432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sleeping Bear Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e138667 \/ Fat Boy Chronicles: Inspired by a True Story\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e NAPPA Gold Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010 pg. 118","brand":"Diane Lang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050890653951,"sku":"9781585365432","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c5f94b2-8cd7-4cdf-b656-53602a1751d6.jpg?v=1685009848","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fat-boy-chronicles-diane-lang-9781585365432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
