Seventh grade Ari is overwhelmed by life. Ari and his artist mother move from New York to San Francisco while his dad takes a break from the family. In addition to dealing with issues at home, overweight Ari is bullied by his classmates. When Ari harms himself, his mother steps in with a plan. With the support of new friends and his mother, Ari gains confidence and begins to take control of his life. Written in verse, this first person narrative story about body image and identity will resonate with many middle school readers.
