My Cup Runneth Over
by Cherry Whytock
I chose this book because who can resist a title like that! I found this one at the public library also. Another funny British novel written much along the lines of Rennison's Georgia series, this one stars Angelica Cookson Potts, who is overweight and surrounded by thin people. She loves to cook and eat and wants to become a chef. She tries to lose weight with a disastrous cabbage diet in order to catch the eyes of a certain few cute guys and also takes part in a fashion show. You'll be laughing while trying to keep up with Angelica who talks a mile a minute. The book also includes recipes and cute black and white illustrations of the characters throughout.
You are 2 for 3 out of making me run to get your picks through ILL! This one looks great. Have you seen the paperback cover? So much less a rip-off of Louise Rennison's books. I am taking a look at this for my summer reading list. Grade 3.
