Summary: One Fat Summer from a 9th grade student at Weir High School
Review: One Fat SummerOne Fat Summer is a great book for any teenager. It is about an overweight kid named Bobby Marks who doesn't like his body. He hates the summer because there is no way to cover up his fat. Bobby is always getting made fun of for the way he looks. He ends up getting a job doing yard work all summer for Dr. Kahn's estate. He is always afraid that he is going to get beat up by an older boy that has a lot of problems that thinks the only way he'll feel better is if he beat up Bobby. I recommend this book to teenagers because a lot of teenagers are put down because of how they look. I liked this book because I always wanted to read more. I found this story very interesting.

Summary: Great teenage book
Review: I read this book this year for my 9th grade English class. At first I did not expect to like it because I was late picking a book and there was a slim choice of books left to read. Boy was I wrong! I loved this book! It really explains teen unsecurity perfectly! I suggest this book to any teenager unsecure of your body.

Summary: It's an awesome book thats hard to put down.
Review: This is an awesome book for teens. The story makes you think about the world around you. You think about how teens and even children are always being criticized about how they look and how they act, and how parents and siblings affect the teens self-confidence and self-esteem. They can either help the matter or make worse. In Roberts case his dad is a bad influence.

Summary: It is a great book, it will keep you going
Review: I really like this book for it's descriptive detail that the author displays so well. The characters are well described as are the scenes and actions. The setting takes place in the 1950's. The main characters are: Bobby Marks, an overweight Jewish kid, Willie Rumson, a "hood" who has nothing better to do than pick on Bobby, and Bobby's sister Michelle, who dates Pete Marino; an Italian Catcholic. Pete Marino is very well respected and loves rising out of the water from diving, and hearing the crowd clap for him. Dr. Kahn plays an important role too. He hires Bobby for a lawn job, but isn't too nice. The author describes his eyes "like shotgun barrels", plus he pays Bobby less than what he said he would pay. I recommend you read this book, because it is a very good book.
