Fat Boy Swim by Catherine Forde



Synopsis -


What would folks say if they discovered that big blob Kelly had one special talent and it involved food? God's sick joke that. Cooking is 14 year old Jimmy Kelly's secret gift. Bullied viciously at school, the kitchen is his haven. But even he doesn't know his real secret. He can't start living, until he stops hiding.


Review -

A gripping and heartfelt story about a boy who is only seen as fat. His one true talent keeps him sane though, stops all the bullies getting to him, and he's an inspirational character. Twist after twist in plot keeps the story interesting from page to page.

Rating -
3/5
