Not Hungry
Hi-lo novel in verse.
June tells one lie.
A simple one.
A huge one.
She’s not hungry.
When she doesn’t eat, her friends and family see a fat girl on a diet, not someone starving herself. June thinks her eating disorder is invisible…until the new boy next door discovers her secret. June is terrified he will expose her shame, but Toby has secrets of his own.
A story about harmful secrets, Not Hungry delves into the tumultuous mind of a struggling girl.
