Takes me back to middle school...

I read this book for the first time in the early 80s when I was in middle school and even though I didn't have a weight problem, I could completely relate to Glenda's problems with feeling insecure and unattractive. This book follows the trials and tribulations of Glenda Waite as she works hard to lose weight and fit in with her classmates. Glenda must deal with her overbearing mother, unsupportive "friends" and "Fat Robert Fry" who is in love with her. Glenda has also developed a huge crush on her English teacher! This is the second of four "Fat Glenda" books and it is my very favorite. I loved reading about Glenda's struggles and victories. She feels like a lifelong friend to me.
