 * __ Summary __ **

**// The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things //**** by Carolyn Mackler is about Virginia “Ginny” Shreves, a New York City, private school freshman, and her struggles in finding herself and how she fits into the world, her family, and her life. Ginny, like most high school females, struggles with her body image and lets her self-conscious attitudes hold her back in life. She is constantly shaping her life around what her family and others want her to be and always finds herself feeling sub-par. In the midst of a new crash diet Ginny is trying, her family receives a phone call that will change everything in life as she knows it. ** ** Ginny’s eyes are open to many things over the course of the next few months. Finding out what her brother is truly like, a sporadic cross-country trip, a drastic hair change and piercing, the loss of a dear educator, and the gain of several relationships are just the highlights of what Ginny experiences in a short amount of time. Through all of these trials, tribulations, and soul searching will Ginny find: her place in her family, a place at Brewster, a love interest, or maybe even herself? ** ** Read //The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things// and find out, you will be surprised at the twists and turns this book takes, and also the significance of the title will leave a smile upon your face! **
