Virginia Shreves Reeks

Deze serie volgt de coming-of-age reis van een tiener die worstelt met een laag zelfbeeld en het gevoel een buitenstaander te zijn in haar schijnbaar perfecte gezin. Wanneer de façades van de familie beginnen af te brokkelen en verborgen geheimen onthullen, vindt de hoofdpersoon een onverwachte kans voor zelfontdekking. Deze geestige en herkenbare verhalen benadrukken het belang van zelfacceptatie en het omarmen van je ware zelf, en moedigen lezers aan om authentiek te leven.

    Carolyn Mackler's Printz Honor book--starring the unforgettably funny, body-conscious Virginia Shreves--returns in this 15th anniversary edition featuring a new cover, text updates, and never-before-seen material from the author. Fifteen-year-old Virginia feels like a plus-sized black sheep in her family, especially next to her perfect big brother Byron. Not to mention her best friend has moved, leaving Virginia to navigate an awkward relationship with a boy alone. He might like her now . . . but what if he ever looks under all her layers of clothes? In order to survive, Virginia decides to follow a “Fat Girl Code of Conduct,” which works, until the unthinkable causes her family's façade to crumble. As her world spins out of orbit, she realizes that being true to herself might be the only way back. Told in a perfect blend of humor and heart, this acclaimed, Printz Honor winner resonates as much today as it did fifteen years ago, now featuring a new cover, author foreword, text updates, and other never-before-seen back matter.
