After Tucker Harrison helps hide Angelo "Pig" Pighetti from the school bully, Pig reluctantly agrees to be the subject of Tucker's science fair project on obesity and nutrition. The smooth-flowing, well-written story will appeal to junior high readers, who will laugh at the hilarious weight-loss regimens and agree with the not-too-heavy-handed message that friendship is a "come-as-you-are party."
