way through weekends in front of the telly with his mum. However,
fate catapults him to a new life in East Africa and he is forced to
face the negative impact that obesity is having on his life. When
he rashly promises to climb Mount Kenya along with the rest of his
class, an adventure in courage and determination begins ... An
exciting and engaging story for children aged 8-12, this book
explores some of the challenges faced by obese children. Supporting
Childhood Obesity: Providing an easy-to-read introduction to
