Tyler Page returns with a touching middle grade memoir about a boy dealing with Button Pusher weight gain, bullying, and gendered expectations all while starting a new school year.
It’s the start of a new school year for Tyler, and with it comes brand-new problems. There are new bullies, new rules, and Tyler’s starting to have a new understanding of his body. In the gym locker room, he notices how his body’s soft curves contrast with the thin frames and toned muscles of the other boys. And on TV, it seems like someone who looks like Tyler never gets the girl.
But is being thin the same thing as being healthy? What’s wrong with being fat, anyway? When his dad forces the Page family to start dieting, Tyler discovers the difference between building a body that conforms to society’s expectations and one that actually feels good to live in.
