Pig and the Shrink
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
My review is about the book called Pig and the Shrink. The main character is Tucker Harrison. Tucker needed to win the science fair project to get into the Math and Science Academy School next year. His experiment was on a weight loss program. He used Pig, short for Pighetti a classmate who is the largest kid in school. During the experiment, Tucker and Pig become friends. The experiment didn't work out very well and Pig was gaining weight. Pig wanted to stop but Tucker was obsessed to win. So obsessed, he lost Pig's friendship. Tucker realized that Pig's friendship wasn't worth losing over a science fair project. He also realized that even though Pig was big, he shouldn't have judged him by his appearance. Pig was a great person inside and out. Tucker apologized to Pig at the science fair and decided to drop out. I recommend this book by Pamela Todd. It teaches a good lesson about friendship and not to judge people by their appearance. It was fast paced and funny.
It's not a book about dieting

It's a book about accepting yourself as you are, about learning the value of friendship. I know it's a book for young adults, but as someone older than, oh well, let's say 30...I couldn't believe how often I laughed and cried here. It has an oriental mystical flavor too. My favorite line was "It's a come as you are party."
