Fiction
Judy Lohden is your above-average sixteen-year-old—sarcastic
and vulnerable, talented and uncertain, full of big dreams
for a big future. With a singing voice that can shake an
auditorium, she should be the star of Darcy Academy, the
local performing arts high school. So why is a girl this
promising hiding out in a seedy motel room on the edge of town? The fact that the national media is on her trail after a
controversy that might bring down the whole school could
have something to do with it. And that scandal has
something—but not everything—to do with the fact that Judy
is three feet nine inches tall. Rachel DeWoskin remembers everything about high school: the
auditions (painful), the parents (hovering), the dissection
projects (compelling), the friends (outcasts), the boys
(crushable), and the girls (complicated), and she lays it
all out with a wit and wistfulness that is half Holden
Caulfield, half Lee Fiora, Prep’s ironic heroine. Big Girl
Small is a scathingly funny and moving book about dreams and
reality, at once light on its feet and unwaveringly serious.
