Like Bobbie Marks in Robert Lipsyte’s One Fat Summer (1977), obese 14-year-old Jim Kelly feels that he’s “suffocating under his own sticky weight,” and his schoolmates’ dramatic bullying doesn’t help.

Finally relenting, Jim asks Joe to teach him to swim, and his surprising ability in the pool and his growing friendship with Joe reveal astonishing family secrets.
