Description

Fifteen-year-old Virginia feels like a fat, awkward outsider in her perfect family, especially next to her golden-boy big brother Byron. She 's got a lot to deal with - her weight, her best friend moving away, the mean girls at school, not to mention a boy who seems to like her! To survive, she decides to follow the Fat Girl Code of Conduct ' to make herself acceptable, unnoticed. Invisible.
It seems to be working until something unthinkable happens and, before her eyes, Virginia 's flawless family begins to fall apart. As her world spins out of orbit, Virginia realises that breaking the Fat Girl Code might be the only way to get back.
Carolyn Mackler 's acclaimed book has been updated for a new audience and is as relevant, funny and full of heart as it was when it was first published fifteen years ago.
