The Earth, My Butt, and other Big Round Things - Allison Ollis

I am so glad our book club picked this book. I have had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing out loud so as not to wake up my roomies. I like how throughout the novel she finally starts to realize that it is okay to be herself and her body type that even those who may seem to have it together and have it all, really don't. I think that this would be a quick, easy, and fun read for my students. I could see them doing a project where they write a letter to someone in the novel to tell whatever they felt like needed to be told, the way that the main character Virgina eventually writes to her sister. I think it might be a neat idea to have some kind of assignment or discussion where the students gather information of where people in a rape situation can turn to, whether it be the police, an organization, a doctor, family, or whatever.
