Fat Cat by Robin Brande


Catherine, "Cat," is an overweight American teenager who has decided to perform a science experiment on herself. In order to imitate the lifestyle of early hominines, she will eat an all-natural diet and forgo the use of technology. Although she allows the cooking of meat, she will eliminate the use of technology like transportation, phones, and computers. And she's in for a surprise at how her life will change with this experiment.

Mrs. R's opinion: "What a bold science experiment, huh? I really enjoyed reading about Cat's attempt to both ace her class project and change her image as 'Fat Cat.' The book kept me intrigued and also surprisingly motivated me to live healthier (although don't expect me to give up my shampoo!). Great minor characters, too--a fantastic read!"
