Me and Fat Glenda

Lila Perl has published over sixty volumes of fiction and nonfiction for young readers. In addition to the successful Fat Glenda series, Perl has twice been received American Library Association Notable awards for nonfiction. Perl is also a prominent writer on the holocaust, and is the recipient of the Sidney Taylor Award for Four Perfect Pebbles: A Holocaust Story. This is the first installment of the “Fat Glenda” series which follows the hilarious antics of Sara and her new friend Glenda, who may not be as confident as she seems. The “Fat Glenda” series, which was hugely popular when it was originally published, is another series that allows readers to follow a character's life over time, like “Mockingjay.” Almost all of Perl's out-of-print works fetch double-to-triple digit prices on Amazon.
