About the Book Staying Fat For Sarah Byrnes

Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher is a compelling young adult novel that delves into the lives of two high school students, Eric “Moby” Calhoune and Sarah Byrnes. Both characters are outcasts due to their physical appearances—Eric is overweight, and Sarah has severe facial scars from a childhood incident. Their shared experiences of bullying and social isolation forge a deep bond between them.

The story takes a dramatic turn when Sarah suddenly becomes catatonic and is hospitalized. Eric, determined to help his friend, embarks on a journey to uncover the reasons behind her silence. Throughout the novel, themes of friendship, loyalty, and standing up against bullying are explored. Eric’s growth as he confronts his insecurities and learns to stand up for what is right, even when it means facing difficult truths, is central to the narrative.

Crutcher’s novel is an exploration of the struggles of adolescence, the impact of trauma, and the power of resilience and friendship. It’s a thought-provoking read that resonates with anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.

Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
