It's not easy being overlooked, out-shined, or picked on. Charlie Anna Bates, an eighth grader at J. Elmore Middle School, knows all about how that feels. In this relatable novel, Charlie trades in her sweats and poor eating habits for make-up and slender legs over the summer before Freshman year in order to save the crumbling friendship with her star athlete, socialite best friend, Destiny. The skinny life escalates into more than Charlie wished for when she develops feelings for Destiny's crush and she falls into a trap that leads to her half-naked picture surfing through Emery High School. Can Charlie find stable ground? Or will she be a victim of her doubtful thoughts? Follow Charlie on her journey to discover who she is, and to empower every girl out there that beauty is truly from within.
