However, her journey becomes one of self-discovery, where she learns to embrace her body, stand up to 'mean girls,' and find her voice. It's a humorous and empowering read that tackles themes of body image, self-esteem, friendship, and family dynamics with a light touch and a strong positive message. Perfect for children navigating the complexities of early adolescence.

Thirteen-year-old Celeste Harris is no string bean, but comfy sweatpants and a daily chocolate cookie suit her just fine.

To get out of it, she's forced to launch Operation Skinny Celeste'because, after all, a thin girl can't be a fat model! What Celeste never imagined was that losing weight would help her gain a backbone . . . or that all she needed to shine was a spotlight. A hilarious debut featuring friendship, family, mean girls and even celebrity crushes, Celeste's story is a delicious treat that doesn't add a pound.
