About this ebook

Opl can dish out advice like a pro, but when it comes to helping herself, she's eating her words

There are three things Opl never expected to do during the eighth grade.

  1. Start a vendetta against celebrity chef Alfie Adam, the "Nude Food Dude"
  2. Take yoga classes with her grandpa
  3. Become a famous blogger

But after a year of shrinking down her personality to compensate for the fact that her body's getting bigger, Opl thinks it's about time to start speaking up again. What she doesn't expect is that everyone actually starts to listen…

    I enjoyed reading this easy, light story of eighth-grader Opal. Her father died two years previously and she struggles with her weight and looks. Sweets are her comfort food which greatly concerns her mother. When Opal visits her doctor she finds she is pre-diabetic. Now she has to follow a strict diet and start yoga classes. Opl and her G-pa spend time together trying out new recipes. Opl decides that since her mother wants her to literally take up less space she decides to shorten her name by 25%, thus becoming Opl. When her mother suggests she start a blog “Opl” becomes her pen name. Her blog becomes a big hit with lots of followers.Young Opl is delightfully funny. Her description of the members of her yoga class are totally typical of a teen. There’s Mr. Stretchy who makes loud breathing noises as he stretches. Fishbowl wears glasses that look like goggles and enlarge her eyes so she looks like someone staring through a fish tank. Her little brother Ollie is another delightful character as is Rudy, the “soup kitchen guy”.This book is probably most appropriate for middle school readers. Opal has a lot of heart and her mother learns that Opal has things to teach her.I received this book free to review from GoodReads First Reads program.
