Dionne, Erin. Models Don’t Eat Chocolate Cookies. New York: Penguin, 2009. (Fiction- Series)
Models Don’t Eat Chocolate Cookies is about a thirteen year old girl named Celeste Harris. Celeste Aunt entered her in a contest for overweight kids. Celeste sets a goal to lose the weight so she doesn’t have to even have a shot at winning the Miss Huskypeach Pageant. She faces the challenges of giving up her Oreo obsession and learning how to eat right. She is tired of the mean Lively Carson picking on her weight and the jokes she hears every time she walks by a set of friends. Celeste learns how difficult life really is when her best friend Sandra the only person who knew she was trying to lose weight joins in on lively’s goal to shut Celeste down. When losing weight was the only option it still was no match for Celeste.

I recommend this book to all teens’ boys and girls. It really teaches you the consequences of not watching your weight. This book teaches you how to handle hard situations in life.
