Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have by Allen Zadoff

Fifteen-year-old Andrew Zansky, the second fattest student at his high school, joins the varsity football team to get the attention of a new girl on whom he has a crush.

What a funny book...full of the insecurities of the high school scene. Andy wants to be popular and by joining the football team he becomes one of the "in" crowd. He drops his best friend (who isn't cool) and finds his size to be an advantage on the field. BUT, he discovers that he was recruited & maybe even played.

Rating: 8 of 10.
