Owen is twelve years old and the fattest kid in school, yet he is also the brightest. He is trying to find an answer to the question of who killed his parents by building a machine to see the past. In addition to this he is being picked on at school, his little sister wants to be a boy and someone keeps stealing his Oreos! I thought this book was very well written. In the beginning I didn’t understand the title. I thought it had to do with the main character being obese, yet the way the meaning is revealed at the end really pulls at your heart strings. Potter did a wonderful job with the foreshadowing and combined it with a very humorous but sad story. This would be a good book for anyone who has ever lost someone close to them.
