Millie Michalchuk is just your average plus-sized teenage girl
with big dreams to become a News Anchor despite, Millie being bullied at school
because of her weight or the fact that her parents sent her to fat camp every
year.Millie is a fun and loving girl with a bold personally she becomes bold
when she meets Callie Reyes. Your typical popular girl that everyone is jealous
of. Millie and Callie have many things in common including the fact that they
don't feel like they fit in.Callie always gets mistaken for the babysitter
since she is tanner than the rest of her family. While Millie gets bullied
because she weighs a bit more than the rest. It does not stop them from
reaching their goals, Millie is going to change her story by attending
Journalism camp this year instead of fat camp while, Callie is going to be more
friendly and kind than before.
Puddin', by Julie Murphy, is just an average girl next door type of book. Millie is relatable
towards the general audience including me, she brings a spark to this book like
nothing before with real emotion and goals to achieve what she wants.She does
not care what people think about her along with her new friend,Callie.Callie is
as well unstoppable alongside Millie proving to everyone she has changed. I’d
recommend this book to a friend since, it brings light to many girls out there
that weigh more than others that have confidence to help them strive. My
favorite part of the book is when Millie and Callie drive through Texas to
arrive at the Journalism camp to confront the people that denied her entry.
