Description

Twelve-year-old Owen Birnbaum is the fattest kid in school. But he?s also a genius who invents cool contraptions? like a TV that shows the past. Something happened two years ago that he needs to see. But genius or not, there is much Owen can?t outthink. Like his gym coach, who?s on a mission to humiliate him. Or the way his Oreos keep disappearing from his lunch. He?s sure that if he can only get the TV to work, things will start to make sense. But it will take a revelation for Owen, not science, to see the answer?s not in the past, but the present. That no matter how large he is on the outside, he doesn?t have to feel small on the inside.
With her trademark humor, Ellen Potter has created a larger-than-life character and story whose weight is immense when measured in heart.

I thought that this book was exceptional. I had to read it as one of my summer reading books and was engrossed in it! I love Owen as the main character and recommend this book!

Awesome book! I just love the fact that Owen finds several life tips, including to forgive and forget. I think this is a great read and you should definitely read it! It is one of my favorite books I've ever read, period.

Best book ever

I got this book from my school book fair. It spent a year on my bookshelf and I picked it up last night. Some harsh and sad things and bad words I can't use in my house. Still the best book ever.

Great

Ok so I just read a book called Slob. I think so far it is one of my favorites! I read this book in two and a half days it isn't long but; it is a story that I will never forget. My first impression on this book was "oh great this book is going to be boring! Urgg it's about science and an overweight kid that loves oreos." but once I got in to it I could really feel his struggles and personality. I'm not an overweight person so I don't know all what he felt. But one of my friends has had a hard time with her weight but she IS NOT fat. She thinks she is though. And as a friend you feel her pain! I know I wasn't supposed to tell my life story which I am the same age as Owen and probably don't know much about life and such. But this is one of the most heart touching stories I've ever read and I am a HUGE reader!!!!!! I want to thank the author of this wonderful book...Elena potter! And for the people who put this book on the summer reading list!!!!!!!!!! :) I LOVE this book!!!!! It is defiantly worth 5 stars!!! People of the world.... READ ON!

I really liked it

Slob was a book about an over- weight boy. He was always teased. Things never went well for him until the end of the book. You might end up feeling sorry for him, I did. His life was defiantly not perfect. I liked this book because it was realistic. A real person like you or me, has had somethings in this book happen to them.
Overall, I really liked it.
