'Elizabeth Stubbs, known as "Fat Betty" by Genna and the other students at Ravella High, is taunted about her weight while she struggles with the burden of a mentally retarded brother. She discovers nasty emails on her computer, threatening SMS messages on her mobile phone. To lose weight, Elizabeth refuses to eat. She hides food in strange places and, when she does eat, she makes herself vomit. This brings on a vicious cycle which threatens to spiral out of control. How does Elizabeth cope with the taunting? And what is the secret about Bron's disability?' Source: www.zeus-publications.com/ (Sighted 06/03/2012).
