DUMPLIN By: Julie Murphy

DUMPLIN  By: Julie Murphy
Willowdean is a fat girl. She knows she is and she likes herself. But her mother is in charge of the beauty pageant in town that she won years ago and it is really annoying to Willowdean. Her whole home is turned upside down by this pageant. 
But since Willowdean is at a private school she is getting some attention from one of the boys at school. She is surprised as he is good looking and a former jock. She is also surprised that she likes him back.
Enter Willowdeans idea to enter the pageant, little does she know that she inspired some of the other girls that aren't what you would call pageant material. Now things really get interesting. 
Loved this book, it is honest and thought provoking. Their is some language if that troubles you.
