Wintergirls
by Laurie Halse Anderson
Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the skinniest. But what comes after size zero and size double-zero? When Cassie succumbs to the demons within, Lia feels she is being haunted by her best friend's restless spirit.
In her most emotionally wrenching, lyrically written book since the multiple-award-winning Speak, best-selling author Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's descent into the powerful vortex of anorexia, and her painful path toward recovery.

This is a great book and one that should be read by every mother as well as those that work with young people. Hard to read, but powerful.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about this book! In the past few months I've read Anderson's "Speak" and "Catalyst", and I'm a big fan of her writing. Hope you enjoy it!
