Picture
Big Fat Disaster
What type of book is this?  Realistic Fiction
Review by:  Paige, Age 12

Introduce the story and main character
: Colby's family is perfect. Her father's a superstar, mom's pageant pretty and her sisters are dolls. But when Colby's father runs off with another woman, Colby's life soon dissolves into disaster.


What was your favorite part of the story or main character?
   My favorite part of the story is when Colby has to go "fat people" shopping with her mom. Forget department stores: their mall is a garage sale.


How would you rate this book?
  4 STARS "This is a very good book.

Is there anything else you would like to share about this book that would help your peers decide if they might want to read it? 
This book shows the struggle of an overweight girl trying to fit in with her mom, school, and the world
