Twelve-year old Sarah is used to being the star on her basketball team, playing with her best friends, but suddenly she finds that her body is changing and she does not understand why she cannot keep up on the court, plus she does not understand why her mother has gotten so weird about food, binging on candy while forgetting about dinner, and she really does not understand why she told Benny, her crush, about her mother--but when Benny offers to teach her how to cook and suggests she partners with him in a cooking competition she starts to find a way to stand up for herself and change her life for the better.… (mais)

Sarah loves playing basketball. The basketball court it the only place that she can find her confidence. At home her mother has a problem with food and body image and often forgets to feed Sarah. This makes Sarah feel self- conscious and different from everyone else. But then, her body starts to change and basketball starts becoming difficult erasing all of the self confidence that she once had.
This story deals with body image and self confidence two key concepts in the lives of teens and tweens. The author crafts a realistic character driven story about a girl struggling with both while trying to find her true self. Teen and tween girls in grades 3-6 will relate to the main character as they see themselves having the same struggles. ( )

It's a #middlegrade book with a message, a very important one... YOU MATTER. Your needs matter. The problems you face matter. Your questions, thoughts, fears, everything... matters. The ones tackled here include body image, and our relationships not only with others, but with food.

Sarah is an amazing leading lady and watching her go from confident next WNBA star in the making to someone who could barely play a few minutes in the game without falling out was TOUGH. Thankfully she knew something was wrong and though unable to do it herself, she had friends brave enough to stand up to and for her. Throughout the story, we get to see through her eyes as she approaches each day and food or the struggle for enough and acceptance occupies her mind. It quite frankly was "taking up space" and that valuable mental property was so better filled by her interests. When help arrived, it wasn't instantaneous, it took time. It wasn't a quick fix, it took effort, commitment, and love. It was real and really based on the author's own experiences, so it hit THAT much harder. I feel that we owe her a great deal for sharing those times as well as her current reality in the hopes of saving others from their circumstances, and helping them learn to take charge.
