Big Girl Small by Rachel DeWoskin is an unexpected delight. We have the clear strong voice of Judy Lohden who seems much bigger than her 3'9" stature. She is an overly smart, yet troubled teen.
De Woskin's writing is wonderful. At times hilarious, at other times sad. This is an inside look at modern teen culture, as well as the life of a "little person" trying to navigate her way through main stream American highschool.
This is a modern day coming of age story with all its sad and scary moments as well as great love and the kindness of strangers. This is one book I won't soon forget.
