Huge by Sasha Paley

Paley, Sasha. Huge. New York, NY : Simon & Schuster, 2007. ISBN : 978-1-4169-3517-9


April and Wil are roommates at camp Wellness Canyon (aka fat camp). While April really wants to lose weight, even saving up for the pricey camp herself, Wil's parents are forcing her to go. Wil's decision to gain weight at camp, to spite her parents, baffles April; April's shameless pleas to get in with the popular girls ("the barely chubbies") at camp embarrasses Wil. When driven together by a common hatred they team up to pull the best prank- and possibly even become friends.
