Is it possible to start afresh when you're thoroughly weighted
down? A "timeless and entirely of-the-moment" ("Publishers Weekly")
novel from the author of "The Secret Language of Girls."
Seventeen pounds. That's the difference between Abigail Walker and
Kristen Gorzca. Between chubby and slim, between teased and
taunting. Abby is fine with her body and sick of seventeen pounds
making her miserable, so she speaks out against Kristen and her
groupies--and becomes officially unpopular. Embracing her new
status, Abby heads to an abandoned lot across the street and
crosses an unfamiliar stream that leads her to a boy who's as
different as they come.
Anders is homeschooled, and while he's worried that Abby's former
friends are out to get her, he's even more worried about his dad, a
war veteran home from Iraq who is dangerously disillusioned with
life. But if his dad can finish his poem about the expedition of
Lewis and Clark, if he can recapture the belief that there can be
innocence in the world, maybe he will be okay. As Abby dives into
the unexpected role as research assistant, she just as unexpectedly
discovers that by helping someone else find hope in the world,
there is plenty there for herself, as well.
