Fat Kid Rules the World

Troy Billings is a seventeen years old, 300 pound high-schooler. He is miserable and has no friends. While on the verge of suicide, he meets up with a emaciated, semi-homeless, high school teen dropout guitar genius named Curt MacCrae. Curt forms a new band in which Troy agrees to be the drummer. This would mark the first interest for Troy since the death of his mother. He was skinny before his mother died, now he is fat and depressed with no end in sight. Though Troys father was not fond of Curt, he supported his son's desire to learn to play the drums and join the punk rock group. Troys vision is only through his weight and sees himself as a fat failure. Curts enthusiasm and confidence becomes contagious and soon Troy is believing in himself. With the help of each other, Curt and Troy were able to rescue themselves from isolation.I liked this book because the language was powerful and the results were positive.This book was written by K.L Going
