Girls Under Pressure is a book I began checking out of the library when I was ten years old. Nobody really understood why, but it was very significant to me at that point in my life. Girls Under Pressure is a story of Ellie (and her two best friends) who, sick of being "fat" decided to go on a starvation "diet". I also had eating problems when I was nine and have for the rest of my life so that part speaks to me. As far as a book on Anorexia I think there are more informed ones out there, who don't cram an entire eating disorder cycle in to the span of a couple months. I'd say it's a good way to bring awareness to preteens about the importance of health and taking proper care.
As an adult this book felt no where near as good as it did back then but I believe thats just the age speaking. I think this will be a good read for the right audience for years to come ( )

Ellie is tired of her body image, she thinks she is over weight and unatractive when really there is nothing wrong with her at all. She compares herself with her two skinny friends. She atemps all kinds of stupid and dangerous diets. This story highlights the dangers of anarexia. ( )

This book really grabbed my attention i couldn't put it down! It is about a girl who is very conserned about her weight she goes through all sorts of different diets and excercise when really she has nothing to worry about. This book highlights the dangers about becoming anorexic. ( )

This is a fun book. Um, It's British, and is really short (an easy summer read)
