Summer in the tiny Texas town of Antler is traditionally a time for enjoying Wylie Womack's Bahama Mama snow cones and racking up the pins at Kelly's Bowl-a-Rama, but this year it's not going well for Toby Wilson. But when Zachary Beaver, "The World's Fattest Boy," comes to Antler as part of a traveling sideshow, Toby begins to realize that there might just be people who have it worse than him.

Opinion: 

Fun, well-written fiction for preteens with a good message about how we see ourselves.  I liked the story and I especially liked Toby.  He is a boy that we all can relate to when things are not going our way and we feel down.
