Pat Swindells

George aged 13 weighs 17 stone and is still growing in all directions. When a TV chef brings healthy food to the school dinner menu, George demands his right to chips, chips and more chips. But his teachers won't budge and they set George thinking...perhaps his family's devotion to fast food is the reason they are all so big and getting bigger?

Following a nightmarish encounter with himself as a grown-up, George embarks on a journey of discovery where he takes the giant leap from living to eat to eating to live.

A deliciously biting comic tale of one supersized teenager's heroic transformation into a cool young dude with a future to die for.

"At a time when the health of the nation, particularly its children is of primary importance to the government and a variety of celebrities this story taps into a national psyche.
It examines teenage issues that are both contemporary and cross-cultural through a strong story that will challenge the reader to explore their own pre-conceived ideas and habits." - Louise Ellis-Barrett - The School Librarian

"Miserable and bullied, George evolves from supersized loner to cool school hero in a briskly paced tale that entertains from beginning to end." - Metro
