Skin And Bones

Skin And Bones by Sherry Shahan, 259 pages


Jack is anorexic.  In a program trying to recover, he meets the girl of his dreams and also makes a a good friend.  Nicknamed Bones, at first he simply tries to keep losing weight, despite the efforts of the doctors and counselors but as time passes and Bones sees what is happening to Alice, the girl he likes, he starts to see his problems in a new light.  This was an extraordinary book about teens with body image and food issues, especially since anorexia is more common for girls.  I think that a lot of teens would like this.
