Investigating the current interest in obesity and fatness, this
book explores the problems and ambiguities that form the lived
experience of 'fat' women in contemporary Western society. Engaging
with dominant ideas about 'fatness', and analysing the assumptions
that inform anti-fat attitudes in the West, The 'Fat' Female Body
explores the moral panic over the 'obesity epidemic', and the
intersection of medicine and morality in pathologising 'fat'
bodies. It contributes to the emerging field of fat studies by
offering not only alternative understandings of subjectivity, the
(re)production of public knowledge(s) of 'fatness', and politics of
embodiment, but also the possibility of (re)reading 'fat' bodies to
foster more productive social relations.
Tommy Ketchum, also known as TK, is used to his little brother
Travis tagging along with him and his gang-a band of friends who
love to hang out, play sports, and seek out mischief. But when Ol'
Blue, one of the boy's lucky baseball bat, is snatched by Bart
Woods-the Menace of Mt. Vernon-and his sidekick Carlos, the Gang
embarks on a covert mission to get it back. With the toughest
baseball game of the season looming in the distance, Josh McKenzie
is desperate to help his team pull off the upset-but he cannot do
it without Ol' Blue. As revenge eats at the collective mind of the
Gang, they must first figure out a way to get through old man
Weaver's yard-the only thing that stands between the Gang and the
Menace's family compound. But creepy old man Weaver is not about to
make the boys' job easy-and neither is his savage dog. In this
first adventure of the TNT gang, all the boys soon learn that even
the best laid plans can go awry-especially when tangling with the
town menace.

Ramona Quimby is the youngest of all the famous characters in Mrs. Cleary's wonderful Henry Huggins stories. She is also far and away the most deadly. Readers of the earlier books will remember that Ramona has always been a menace to Beezus, her older sister, to Henry, and to his dog Ribsy. It is not that Ramona deliberately sets out to make trouble for other people. She simply has more imagination than is healthy for any one person. In this book Ramona and her imagination really come into their own. Starting with a fairly mild encounter with the librarian, which is harder on Beezus than anyone else, Ramona goes from strength to strength, winding up by inviting her entire kindergarten class to a part at her home without mentioning it to her mother. The riot that ensues is probably the most hilarious episode in this extremely funny book, which proves that Mrs. Cleary's imagination is almost as lively as Ramona's.
