Fat Kid Rules the World
The new YA librarian at MH recommended this one, and it definitely now ranks among my favorite YA books.
Fat Kid Rules the World by K. L. Going
The unlikely friendship between Troy Billings, a 296-pound 17-year-old, and Curt MacCrae, an emaciated homeless legendary punk-rock guitarist high-school drop out.
Its a fast read that pulls you along to a punk rock sound track.
Good readalike to Joyce Carol Oates's Big Mouth & Ugly Girl
