Description
Tyler Page returns with a touching middle grade memoir about a boy dealing with Button Pusher weight gain, bullying, and gendered expectations all while starting a new school year.
It's the start of a new school year for Tyler, and with it comes brand-new problems. There are new bullies, new rules, and Tyler's starting to have a new understanding of his body. In the gym locker room, he notices how his body's soft curves contrast with the thin frames and toned muscles of the other boys. And on TV, it seems like someone who looks like Tyler never gets the girl. But is being thin the same thing as being healthy? What's wrong with being fat, anyway? When his dad forces the Page family to start dieting, Tyler discovers the difference between building a body that conforms to society's expectations and one that actually feels good to live in.

"Sunny full-color illustrations imbue the graphic novel with the nostalgic vibe of a Saturday morning cartoon, while lighthearted and insightful storytelling brings the narrative to a tidy close." -Publishers Weekly
"This coming-of-age memoir addresses body image in males, a topic not often found in middle school books, making it a solid purchase for libraries to fill that gap." -- School Library Journal "With its nonjudgmental and empathic approach, Extra Large might even get a certain population of lapsed bookworms reading again." -- Shelf Awareness
