The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things (Audio Cassette) (Unabridged)
The Earth My Butt and Other Big Round Things - Audio Cassette - Unabridged Author:Carolyn Mackler, Johanna Parker (Narrator) Virginia Shreves is certain that she was accidentally switched at birth. That's the only way she can account for the differences between her and her parents and two older siblings. She's sure that somewhere in the Tri-State area there's an obese, blond-haired, pop-culture-loving family wondering why they have a slim, brown-haired, an... more »d culturally enlightened daughter. Because that's what Virginia knows she is. Fat.
Being fat is a huge handicap for Virginia. She can't make her weekly make-out trysts with Froggy Welsh the Fourth into a serious relationship. She is fearful of imposing herself upon unfriendly classmates, and so she's all alone this year, her best friend Shannon having gone to Walla Walla for the year.
Then Virginia gets some news that shatters all of her beliefs. While her family struggles to pretend everything is normal, Virginia has had enough. It's time for Virginia to begin to love herself.
