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.
