Friendship, body image, and a mysterious exchange

Myra is nearly fourteen and lives with the sting of being judged for her weight, including at home. Her connection to a statue in the woods gives her a private outlet, while a new friendship brings the possibility of being accepted—and the uncertainty of whether that acceptance is genuine. Notes left at the statue add another question: who is writing back, and can that person be trusted? The story brings body image and social belonging together with a choice between pursuing a longed-for friendship and doing what Myra believes is right.

Book overview

At almost fourteen, Myra shops in the fat girl department. No one, least of all her mother, let's her forget it. Except for Myra's almost-imaginary friend, a statue of a girl out in the woods.

So when Myra finally finds a friend who wants to spend time with her, and doesn't mind being seen with her, she wonders if it's for real. Or will her new friend be like all the other kids, and make fun of her for being fat?

And who is answering the notes Myra leaves at the statue? Is the writer a friend or a foe?

She may have to choose between a longed-for friendship and doing the right thing.
