This book is a young adult title that came out in the 1970s. The main character is an overweight Jewish girl who lives in NYC or New Jersey. She keeps trying to lose weight but loves chicken fat sandwiches. May be in diary form.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
Is this Me and Fat Glenda by Lila Perl?
Could it be one of Lila Perl’s ‘Fat Glenda’ books? Or perhaps Marilyn Sachs’ ‘The Fat Girl’?
Neither of those, but thank you. The girl is a bit older than the one in Me and Fat Glenda, like 16 or 17 I think.
Could it be “Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack” by M.E. Kerr?
A Girl Called Al? (that’s A L, not Ai)
Perhaps Blueberry Summer, by Elisabeth Ogilvie. The girl’s name is Cass. There is a sequel called The Fabulous Year.
