Stick Figure


Stick Figure

I think this book is really important to read during this time in our 10 and 11 year old lives. It is a true story about an 11 year old girl who things she is too fat and stops eating, and develops the disease anorexia nervousa. The story behind this book is that the woman who wrote it, was looking through her old things from when she was a kid and found a bunch of her old diaries. She thought they would just be like any old diary you would read but found out that she was writing in them during the time of her illness. The reason it is important to read this book is because (mostly in girls) people at our age are pressured into looking thin and pretty. If I had to rate this book I would give it a 1,000,000,00!! (out of 10)
