The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things. Allison Ollis

I have really enjoyed reading this book. This book deals with so many issues that teenagers are going through such as weight, sexuality, date rape, islolation, cliques, rebellion,and uninvolved parents just to name a few. This book is an easy read and is really hard to put down. It has witty humor and a good plot and will put you through an array of emotions. I could see myself teaching this in a high school setting and going over the many different (and sometimes controversial) issues. I can see doing essays, journal entries, poetry, music lyrics, and much much more.

I agree Allison. I think this book would be great for the classroom and covers so many topics. I really am enjoying this work. I think the topic of date rape needs to be discussed. I am glad the author chose to write on this. I think the author does a great job showing the turmoil that a family can go through when dealing with a situation like that.
