"When being picture perfect takes over a teenagers life..."

When out with her mother, young Heather Bock, Olympian dreamer, notices a few magazines with several pages full of overly thin models. It stays with her throughout most of the day, and she doesn't think much about it until she sees a publicity photo, for ice-skating, of her and her brother. She starts to think that maybe she could afford to lose a few pounds. When her brother drops her during practice and comments about her being too heavy, she then decides to do something about it.

Not able to keep her non-eating habit from her family members, and friends, they soon begin to worry. When Heather becomes interested in modeling for a local department store, she quickly grows more determined in losing weight and soon finds herself on dangerous grounds. Does Heather ruin her dreams of someday entering the Olympics? Is she able to control her rapid weight loss before it's too late?

Beverly Lewis' book PHOTO PERFECT is a superb method of addressing the harsh issue of anorexia, commonly found in today's teenage girls. Her all around well-written book will certainly delight you. I enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to more of Mrs. Lewis' books.
