I first read this when I was about Neddie's age, and just remembered it the other day. So, I re-read it. I must say I enjoyed it the second time, 15 years or so later. It's an inspiration to anyone who knows they are overweight, that they should lose, and just don't have the motivation. Cute, and a fast read. I'll probably re-read it again and again!

Isaac and I enjoyed this one. I wasn't sure how it was going to end half-way through the book, but I was very pleased with the lesson it taught and how the main character desired to improve and change his habits. Nice, short chapters made for a good read-aloud.

I picked this up at a library book sale because I vaguely remembered reading it in elementary school. It’s a great story for anyone who’s ever felt like “the fat kid”
