Description
Bethany is an ordinary ninth grader. She was born in the USA but now lives with her mom and dad in the Czech Republic, in an apartment building in a housing estate. She has plenty of good and not-so-good friends. When her parents leave to work in Sri Lanka at the beginning of the school year, she moves in with her grandmother. She continues going to school, inventing stories... and also losing weight. Her friends Matylda and Hortenzie are so "kind" that they help her shop for nice clothes and show her the magic of the gym. Bethany diligently exercises every day and simply skips meals. One annoying classmate notices this and tries to help her, but it's already too late. Beth is taken to the hospital and given a clear diagnosis: mental anorexia. Will Beth manage to recover, find new friends, and maybe even her first boyfriend? And what about returning to school and the entrance exams for high school?
