Description

Called a “masterpiece” in a starred review from School Library Journal, award-winning author Chris Crutcher’s acclaimed Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes is an enduring classic.

This bestselling novel is about love, loyalty, and friendship in the face of adversity. “Superb plotting, extraordinary characters, and cracking narrative make this novel unforgettable.”—Publishers Weekly

Sarah Byrnes and Eric Calhoune have been friends for years. When they were children, his weight and her scars made them both outcasts. Now Sarah Byrnes—the smartest, toughest person Eric has ever known—sits silent in a hospital. Eric must uncover the terrible secret she’s hiding before its dark current pulls them both under. Will appeal to fans of Marieke Nijkamp, Andrew Smith, and John Corey Whaley.

“Once again, Chris Crutcher plunges his readers into life's tough issues within a compelling story filled with human compassion . . . with his characteristic intelligence, humor, and empathy."—ALAN Review

An American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults

Fierce Loyalty: Eric Calhoune made a promise to his best friend, Sarah Byrnes, long ago. Now, with Sarah silent in a psych ward, he’s the only one who can force her to confront a past she’s too terrified to speak of. Child Abuse and Survival: Sarah’s brutal scars are a constant reminder of a traumatic past. But the secret she’s hiding is far more dangerous than the lie she’s let the world believe. Dealing with Bullies and Abusive Parents: He’s the overweight swimmer called Moby; she’s the scarred girl who never backs down. Together, these two friends face down schoolyard tormentors and the monsters waiting at home. A Thought-Provoking Banned Book: Praised as a masterpiece and frequently challenged for its honesty, this novel tackles tough topics like suicide and faith with signature humor and empathy, making it a must-read for teens and adults.
