Description

Jeff Lyons can't stand Ellen de Luca, the fat girl in his ceramics class. She's huge, clumsy, can't throw a pot to save her life, and stares at Jeff all the time. But he's a 'nice guy' and feels terrible when Ellen overhears his hurtful remarks about her. The 'crumbs of kindness' he tosses her way soon turn into advice on weight loss, college, clothes, hair . . . and, to everysurprise, good-looking Jeff actually dumps his pretty girlfriend to be with the fat girl! Re-creating Ellen is a labor of love, Jeff thinks. But as her pounds melt away, Jeff resents the happy, independent young woman he has unleashed. Where is the gratitude for all he's done for her?

With this darkly ironic take on the clasPygmalion tale, Marilyn Sachs offers young readers a candid portrayal of what happens when the intoxicating thrill of control is confused with love.
