Moose: A Memoir
The prequel to Stephanie Klein’s irresistible memoir Straight Up and Dirty, this funny and poignant coming-of-age story introduces a twelve-year-old Stephanie as she embarks on an adventure-filled—and life-changing—summer at fat camp.
Stephanie Klein was an eighth grader with a weight problem. It was a problem at school, where the boys called her "Moose," and it was a problem at home, where her father reminded her, "No one likes fat girls." After many frustrating sessions with a nutritionist known as the fat doctor of Roslyn Heights, Long Island, Klein's parents enrolled her for a summer at fat camp. Determined to return to school thin and popular, without her "lard arms" and "puckered ham," Stephanie embarked on a memorable journey that would shape more than just her body. It would shape her life.
