Ever since Ellie wore a whale swimsuit and made a big splash at her fifth birthday party, she's been bullied about her weight. To cope, she tries to live by the Fat Girl Rules--like "no making waves," "avoid eating in public," and "don't move so fast that your body jiggles." And she's found her safe space--her swimming pool--where she feels weightless in a fat-obsessed world. In the water, she can stretch herself out like a starfish and take up all the room she wants. It's also where she can get away from her pushy mom, who thinks criticizing Ellie's weight will motivate her to diet. Fortunately, Ellie has allies in her dad, her therapist, and her new neighbor, Catalina, who loves Ellie for who she is. With this support buoying her, Ellie might finally be able to cast aside the Fat Girl Rules and starfish in real life--by unapologetically being her own fabulous self.

CONFRONTS FAT SHAMING HEAD-ON: Lisa doesn't shy away from showing how cruel Ellie's relatives and classmates can be, and how it affects her.
TIMELY, IMPORTANT TOPIC: Size-based discrimination and bullying is super-prevalent, and is something we should be talking about (see Additional Selling Points on p. 2 for links to related articles).
TACKLES BULLYING IN GENERAL: Anyone who's been teased will relate to what Ellie's going through.
SHOWS HOW BEING A GOOD FRIEND CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Having even one friend who doesn't judge her sometimes feels like the only way Ellie can cope with everyone else.
POSITIVE PORTRAYAL OF THERAPY: Ellie initially resists talk therapy, but learns so much by opening. up
REALISTIC CONCLUSION: Ellie doesn't dramatically lose the weight, and her relationships with her family members aren't all resolved-instead, the focus is on her progress toward learning to accept herself and be confident in her own skin.
