So I just finished an AMAZING book for teen girls (roughly ages 14 - 19). If you like more "realistic" fiction then you will LOVE LOVE LOVE Artichoke's Heart by Suzanne Supplee.
It is the story of Rosemary Goode, who always hoped that there was someone else lurking under her "fat girl" skin, but never really had the confidence to find out. After all, life in her bedroom wearing sweats and spending time with her favorite men "Mr. Hershey, Mr. Reese, and Mr. Snickers" was reliable and safe.
But after hearing, "...that it's possible to be fat and still be loved. You don't have to wait until you lose weight to have a life" Rosemary starts to wonder just what she's missed by hiding out. So with the encouragement of a surprise friend and the hope that the smiles from Kyle are more than just her imagination, Rosemary steps out to claim her life.
Fans of Carolyn Mackler's The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things will love Artichoke. I laughed AND cried as I followed Rosemary's story and was so sad to see it end. Closing the book for the last time was like saying good-bye to a very dear friend.
Artichoke may not be on shelves just yet, but don't be afraid to stop by the register and ask us to put a hold on for you. Trust me...you won't be disappointed. Oh, and moms...you need to read this story too!
