Slob

by Ellen Potter

Grade: Good
Story: Owen is fat. And smart.

Really, really great author. I'm hugely looking forward to Kneebone Boy, or whatever it's called.
Anyway, back to this one.
The characters! Owen, Jeremy, Zelda (was that their mother's name?), Nima, Mason. They were all great and completely themselves.
It's too bad her books are so small and a bit too light-weight. They're almost in my tiny-cute-light-favourite-books-of-all-time books. But not, I'm not totally sure why. Too light-weight, as I said? But her themes are not light-weight at all. So no, I don't know why.
