A young boy struggles with body image in this poignant middle grade journey to self-acceptance told through prose, verse, and illustration. Will is the only round kid in a school full of string beans. So he hides
in baggy jeans and oversized hoodies, in the back row during class, and anywhere but the cafeteria during lunch. But shame isnt the only feeling that dominates Wills life. Hes also got a crush on a girl named Jules who knows he doesnt have a chance withstring beans only date string beansbut he cant help wondering what if? Wills best shot at attracting Juless attention is by slaying the Will Monster inside him by changing his eating habits and getting more exercise. But the results are either frustratingly slow or infuriatingly unsuccessful, and Wills shame begins to morph into self-loathing. As he resorts to increasingly drastic measures to transform his appearance, Will meets skateboarder Markus, who helps him see his body and all it contains as an ever-evolving work in progress.
