Like all of Cathy Glass's books, this is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I always love to see the change that Cathy has made in a child's life. I definitely cried whilst reading this, particularly towards the end.
This one deals with issues of obesity, particularly generational obesity and the health consequences of being overweight. The reason Max is taken into foster care in the first place is his mother is in hospital because of diabetes-related amputation. It's quite a sensitive issue and I think that Cathy handled it well and empathetically.
