YA-OBESITY
Here are some books for young adults that immediately come to my
mind which deal with the subject of being over weight and obesity:

Blubber- Judy Blume
Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes- Chris Crutcher
Athletic Shorts- Chris Crutcher
(This compilation of short stories contains Anges Bathoone upon which
this fall's mothion picture Anges was based)
One Fat Summer- Robert Liptyse
The Cat Ate My Gymsuit- Paula Danzinger

For books about obesity, there's _Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade_ by
Barthe DeClements, and for books about learning disabilities, it's sequel
- _Sixth Grade can Really Kill You_, though it's not at a primary level -
you could read it to them, though!
