So what is lunch, really, compared to the secrets of the universe? Maybe even the authority to bend time and space. The knack of tuning in to thoughts right out of people's heads. The ability to see things he shouldn't be able to see. Matt's hardworking mom keeps the kitchen crammed with food, but Matt can resist the siren call of casseroles and cookies because he has discovered something: the less he eats the more he seems to have. The hunger clears his mind, keeps him sharp - and he needs to be as sharp as possible if he's going to find out just how Tariq and his band of high school bullies drove his sister, Maya, away.
His stomach stabs and twists inside, pleading for a meal, but Matt won't give in. Miller's debut novel will resonate with any reader who's ever craved the power that comes with self-acceptance. A darkly funny, moving story of body image, addiction, friendship, and love, Sam J.
