Description

Starfish is a poignant novel-in-verse that confronts diet culture and fat phobia head-on. Ellie's story is one of self-discovery and empowerment, as she navigates the challenges of growing up in a world that often shames and criticizes those who are overweight.

In this powerful book, Ellie finds solace in her swimming pool, where she can be herself without fear of judgment. With the support of her loved ones, including her dad, therapist, and new neighbor Catalina, Ellie begins to break free from the constraints of the "Fat Girl Rules" and find her own path to happiness.

With its accessible and engaging verse, Starfish is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever felt like they don't fit in. This Printz Honor Book is a powerful exploration of identity, self-acceptance, and the importance of finding your own unique voice.
