Powder Puff

"This book is inspiring. Instead of giving children complexes, give them this book. Let it, and not the Victoria's Secret models, be an example for them". - THE GUARDIAN

Willowdean Dixon does not consider the word "fat" offensive: some have bony knees, some have big breasts, and Will is fat, and that's just a fact. But the summer before her senior year turns her whole world upside down. First job. First kiss. First serious fight with a friend. And for the first time in her life, she feels awkward about her body. To believe in herself again, Willowdean decides to participate in a beauty pageant and prove that any girl can become a queen, regardless of clothing size.

The novel has been nominated for various literary awards and was adapted into a film in 2018.
