(3) YA Stunned by her father's death and her mother's inability to cope, thirteen-year-old Isabelle develops bulimia as a way to gain some control in her life. Isabelle's mother quickly finds out and forces Isabelle into group therapy to face her behavior. Realistic description and dialogue and sincerely portrayed emotions deliver a strong message about self-image and family.
