Big Girl Small Rachel DeWoskin

Judy Lohden is your above-average sixteen-year-old: sarcastic and vulnerable, talented and uncertain, full of big dreams for a big future. With a singing voice that can shake an auditorium, she should be the star of Darcy Academy, the local performing-arts high school. So why is a girl this promising hiding out in a seedy motel room? The fact that the national media is on her trail after a controversy that might bring down the whole school could have something to do with it. And that scandal has something to do with the fact that Judy is three feet nine inches tall. Rachel DeWoskin remembers everything about high school and lays it all out with wit and wistfulness. Big Girl Small is a scathingly funny and moving book about dreams and reality, at once light on its feet and unwaveringly serious.
