Judy Lohden is your above-average sixteen-year-oldsarcastic and vulnerable, talented and uncertain, full of big dreams for a big future. With a singing voice that can shake an auditorium, she should be the star of Darcy Academy, the local performing arts high school. So why is a girl with such potential hiding out in a seedy motel room on the edge of town?It could have something to do with the fact that the national media is on her trail after a controversy that might bring down the whole school. And that scandal has somethingbut not everythingto do with the fact that Judy is three feet, nine inches tall.Rachel DeWoskin remembers everything about high school: the auditions (painful), the parents (hovering), the dissection projects (compelling), the friends (outcasts), the boys (crushable) and the girls (complicated), and she lays it all out with a wit and wistfulness that is half Holden Caulfield, half Lee Fiora, Preps ironic heroine. Big Girl Small is a scathingly funny and moving book about dreams and reality, at once light on its feet and unwaveringly serious.
